Comment:

 In [changeset:"29819"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="29819"
 Always sanitize user_nicename in wp_insert_user().

 Previously, a 'user_nicename' parameter passed into the function was
 unsanitized. This could result in a mismatch between the sanitized
 nicename
 generated automatically at user creation, resulting in broken author
 archive
 permalinks.

 Props joemcgill.

 Fixes #29696.
