The diagnosis of the bug is incorrect. We never use the user-selected
'nickname' as a username in the XS. We do provide it as in the GECOS
info, and there may be a bug in that.

I strongly recommend that you focus on digging for more info on where
the bug triggers

 - is the registration code on the sugar side building an invalid xmlrpm msg?

 - is the registration code on the XS side not escaping the nickname?

 - is the problem somewhere else?

If the problem is in any of the 2 spots I mention, then the ':'
character is the least of our worries ;-)

cheers,
