Comment (by liammitchell):

 To add some more info.

 The extension Restrict Usernames Emails Characters appears to be setting
 the nicename to empty string when a user makes a checkout via woocommerce.

 compatibility-mode/

 Not 100% on this however.

 > Fallback to lower(user_login) when nicename is empty string?

 > {{{
 > define('BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', false);

 > in the wp-config.php if using the user_nicename must not be the same as
 user_id feature.
 >
 > This was happening in a version prior to 6, 4.4.0 I updated to 6 to see
 if it would fix it but it was still present.
 >
 > Additionally without the compatibility mode enabled, urls seemed to fail
 when nicename is different to user_login.
 >
 > members/me was giving blank page content or a 404 depending on the url.
 > Theme used did not appear to matter.
