 It seems that when an user's username contains spaces (e.g., "Bob Smith"),
 links to their author page of the form /author/bob-smith/ fail (these are
 the types of links produced from within wordpress) and go to the 404 page.
 This can be fixed by editing the {{{get_userdatabylogin}}} function and
 changing

 {{{
 if ( !$user = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE user_login
 = '$user_login'") )
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 if ( !$user = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->users WHERE
 user_nicename = '$user_login'") )`
 }}}

 But I'm not clear whether this is an appropriate change, or not.  Hope
 this is of some use.
