Comment(by Zooney):

 A username with an "@" symbol in it, (i.e. smith.1@…) will cause at least
 two strange problems:

 While running as an account of the form "smith.1@…" (for instance an
 account created with a Shibboleth EPPN as the username)

 1.) In the the user profile the link Groups->Create a Group will redirect
 the user to the home page of the BuddyPress install

 2.) Posting to the account's own wire (typing in text and hitting "Post")
 will redirect to the home page of the BuddyPress install (although the
 message will be posted to the wire)

 3.) Attempting to send mail via Messages->Compose will redirect to the
 home page of the BuddyPress install upon hitting "Send"
