Comment (by engelen):

 Patch looks good to me as well. The unit tests are a bit limited, I would
 argue, in the sense that they only test for the `display_name` column
 (i.e., what went wrong in this case). However, the unit tests will still
 pass if, in a next release, the same problem occurs with `user_email`, for
 example.

 @obenland Can this be moved to 4.9? Seems like a solid, simple patch for
 what is clearly a bug.
