Comment (by DJPaul):

 Replying to [comment:1 boonebgorges]:
 > Des - we could also be a bit more generous in some of our core
 functions, and be a bit more generous about the distinction between
 username compatibility mode on and off. See 3573.01.diff for an example of
 what I mean. FWIW I think that we probably should implement something like
 3573.01.diff in any case, since at the moment bp_core_get_userid() is not
 compatible with _USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE.

 Which is why we use bp_is_username_compatibility_mode() alot to switch
 between bp_core_get_userid() and bp_core_get_userid_from_nicename()
 appropriately. See something like bp_core_get_userlink_by_username() for a
 trivial example. Rather than mess with the SQL at this release, it's
 probably better just adding this sort of conditional in private messaging
 wherever this problem occurs.
