list=allusers&aulimit=n seems to have an off by one error somewhere. Loading the linked url will provide one with two usernames, rather than three. The same will occur on fr.wiki and de.wiki. es.wiki, eo.wiki, zh.wiki are all unaffected. Setting the aufrom= parameter will fix the problem for wikis that do suffer from this bug, same with augroup= or auprefix=. Adding auprop=editcount will not fix the problem. I was unable to reproduce this on my local wiki, neither with current svn or current scapped version
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers shows a user with a bad name as the first result which is not shown in the api.

The problem seems to be more subtle than I thought. The user in question, [[User:]], is dropped not because his name is invalid (which it is), but because is user name is empty and at the beginning of the list. I can't reproduce this problem locally, so I *attempted* to fix it in r44472. If that revision doesn't fix it, please REOPEN.
I've deleted the bogus record btw.
