 When I create a new user on my multi-site install all I have to complete
 is their username and email.

 Then, if I go to edit that user (say, to change their password, or change
 anything) and hit save, then I get an error message which states:

 "Your Nickname must be different than your login name. Please choose a
 different Nickname."

 If they ''must'' be different then why does wordpress automatically make
 them the same?!?
