Comment (by yusufmudagal):

 Tested PR https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/11668

 Before the patch, invalid username messages used "illegal characters" in
 both `register_new_user()` and
 `WP_REST_Users_Controller::check_username()`.
 After the patch, both now say "disallowed characters".

 Patch tests well for me.
