Comment (by nacin):

 As the various pre_user_* filters are designed to complement the same
 filters in sanitize_user_field(), we probably shouldn't try to overload it
 otherwise. The patch also will never work, because $display_name is set to
 $user_login before getting passed to the filter, which means
 empty($display_name) in _wp_pre_user_display_name() will never be true.
