Comment (by minimoo):

 On the basis that someone signing up should know the username they've
 entered (and also know their email) - wouldn't it be easier to continue to
 allow www. in a username - but just remove the username field from the
 email.

 So the initial email just contains the link to set password.

 I'm just imagining that someone may have made their username www.yyyy.com-
 admin or similar in the past, which then would no longer be valid after
 the wordpress update?
