But this suggests that moving the username out of the {{GENDER}} should be enough to fix the bug.

Well, it would fix the * bug. It won’t necessarily fix any other problems that may occur because we’re sending unescaped user names into a parsed message.

The curious thing is that I couldn’t reproduce this bug with a user named '''bold'''. It seems like in that case, the autocomment we get from MediaWiki already contains ' instead of '. There seems to be some confusion inside MediaWiki about this topic, too, because while logged in as '''bold''' (with gender set to female), {{GENDER:|he|she|they}} (gender for current user) results in “they”, while {{GENDER:'''bold'''|he|she|they}} (gender for '''bold''' user) correctly results in “she”.
