Comment (by cweiske):

 > 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?

 The username validation only affects user registration, not user login. I
 just verified this.

 Existing users with usernames "www.example.org" or "admin of
 www.example.org" can continue to log in.
