Comment (by websupporter):

 I've just checked for #36653 the following:

 I can login with the username `admin at example.com` since the login via
 `wp_authenticate_email_password()` is hooked into `wp_authenticate` after
 `wp_authenticate_username_password()` and returns the `$user` if its a
 user object. But I still can't reset my password or find
 `admin at example.com` by conducting a search on the user page in `wp-admin/`

 The patch for the password reset still seems to work. Didn't check for the
 search though.
