Comment:

 Put simply - the array of fields passed to the `pre_get_posts` call is the
 raw arguments as parsed from the URL.
 In the case of `/author/dd32` the `author_name = dd32` field will be set,
 in the case of `?author=123` `author = 123` will be set.

 You should handle both of those cases and find the user_id by calling
 `get_user_by( 'user_nicename', $author_name )`
