This is a bug in the changes I made to user-setup for migration-assistant, the problem does not occur with --no-migration-assistant. The field verification is not being run on username.

    - Activate create/edit partition dialog when double-clicking a row in
      the partition list.
    - Fix backup from user/password page.
    - Add buttons to the partition list to make it more obvious what to do.

As the current development focus is on Hardy and there have been a number of changes to this section of code, would you mind trying with one of the daily live CD builds and letting me know if the problem still affects you?

Thanks!
