Comment (by boonebgorges):

 By default (ie not in compatibility mode), URLs are built out of
 user_nicename. My guess is that the script you're using to create users is
 putting display names in the user_nicename field (in wp_users). This is a
 bad idea: user_nicename is supposed to be a unique, URL-friendly version
 of the user_login. See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.2
 /wp-includes/user.php#L1282,
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.2/wp-
 includes/user.php#L1336

 If I'm right, then you'll probably need to do the following:
 1) Modify your import script so that it enforces user_nicename rules, or
 better yet, just uses wp_insert_user() instead of INSERTing directly to
 the DB; and
 2) Modify your existing users' user_nicename fields so that they're valid.
