Comment:
I was unable to reproduce this. When trying to create a user with an email
address as the username, WordPress returns the error:
''Usernames can only contain lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers.''
This suggests the validation already prevents the scenario described in
this ticket. If it was ever possible to use an email as a username, it
appears to have been addressed since. I'd recommend closing this as a non-
issue.
