 hgfischer, nice catch!

 This applies to users with username containing any character needing
 urlencoding: space, @, etc.

 Tangentially related to #2969.

 The reason we had wp_clean_ajax_input() in trunk to urldecode $_POST was
 because the old version of sack required it (it may have been double
 encoding...? I don't recall).  With the new version of sack in trunk,
 wp_clean_ajax_input() was detrimental.

 We still have the old version of sack in branches/2.0 (as we should), so
 we need to decode there.

 This should not be an issue elsewhere in the core.  I believe branches/2.0
 only deals with integers being sent by AJAX requests (except for on the
 fly category addition which handles things on its own).

 Patch looks good.  Submitting as diff.

 Note: this bug does not apply to trunk; everything is fine there.
