 Unable to add user to Group that has an email address as their username

 Steps to duplicate the issue:

 1) Create a user with an email address as the username
 2) In the Admin Panel go to Groups/Edit/Add? New Members
 3) Type in part of the username and click to select the suggestion. The
 name shows up under the field with an "x" next to it
 4) Click the save changes button in the upper right hand corner
 5) A message states that the “The group has been updated successfully” but
 the member is not added to the group.

 This issue was reported on 09/11/13 by @elangley (see
 http://buddypress.org/support/topic/unable-to-add-user-to-
 group/#post-171175), unfortunately a ticket was submitted to the bbPress
 rather than Buddypress Trac.(see
 http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2425)
 Resubmitting, hopefully the correct place this time.
