 After entering an illegal username (fe. "Wim (wim at go2people.nl)"),
 WordPress gives an error message saying:
 "ERROR: This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters.
 Please enter a valid username."
 So far so good.

 Now, when I correct the issue and click "Add new user" again, the above
 error message remains in the screen, while the illegal characters are no
 longer there and the actual error I am facing is that I forgot my
 password. Which is confusing for me.

 The same occurs, when I enter an e-mail which has already been registered.
 I get the error message:
 "ERROR: This email is already registered, please choose another one."
 When I correct, the error message remains, while this particular problem
 has been solved.

 WP v: 3.3
 Browser: Google Chrome 14.0 on Ubuntu 11.10
