Comment (by MikeHansenMe):

 This looks to be caused by

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.1.1/src/wp-
 includes/user.php#L1750

 Which has been around in some form for a long time.

 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/2.0-branch/wp-includes
 /registration-functions.php#L42

 We can either remove the use of sanitize_title or alter sanitize_title,
 however it is used all over core and may cause issues elsewhere. The
 nicename is run through sanitize_user prior in the same function.
