Hi,
Thanks for the report.
This is actually an issue with the upstream software. LightDM is not developed
for FreeBSD, in fact it is developed by Canonical, makers of Ubuntu Linux.
Adding this would require development in the upstream software.
Even if the fix will most probably be coming from a FreeBSD developer, ports
are not the place for original development. Custom patches can and are added,
but that track should be taken only when it is impossible to get the required
changes upstream.
Due to this you really should file a bug report/feature request upstream, so
any patches addressing this can also be attached there.
If you have code to fix this issue please post it. Otherwise, someone will need
to take the thing in his hands and send a patch upstream, which can be added to
the port.
BTW, have you tested the software behaviour in Linux? it is quite probable it
does the same there, if the issue also happens in Linux it is much more
probable for the upstream to care.
(I have no idea how difficult this would be to implement, or if & in user names
is a thing in Linux)
