Filing a bug mostly because I don't know what to do about it. Tried to create an account named "tst login" (note double space). This failed due to the check: $parsed = Title::newFromText( $name ); if( is_null( $parsed ) || $parsed->getNamespace() || strcmp( $name, $parsed->getPrefixedText() ) ) { Which is meant to detect namespace prefixes. (the third part checks if its equal to its normalization, and fails if not) We should probably just give a warning if the user name normalizes to something different then typed. We should also more generally be specific why things fail.
Still valid, generic error message is "You have not specified a valid user name".
