Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 @misterbisson: Agreed. What prompted me to write the patch was that this
 wasn't trivial to implement with a plugin, and is a much needed
 functionality when you're dealing with a membership site.

 @Ryan: foo[at]bar.com gets sanitized as foo-bar-com (or foobar-com) as the
 user_nicename. It presumably doesn't get changed afterwards due to this
 check in wp_insert_user():

 {{{
 if ( empty($user_nicename) )
   $user_nicename = sanitize_title( $user_login );
 }}}

 It's the only place where it actually gets written. Else, it's behaving as
 a read-only field. If you'd rather see it changed as the username changes,
 just let me know and I'll adjust the patch accordingly.
