Public bug reported:

If an admin is changing the username of a user, they can enter in a bad
username (less than 3 chars, more than upper limit, bad charaters
within, etc). When the form is submitted no verification is done, but
the change_username function fails before writing to database.

It would be good to give feedback as to why the username is failing.

Cheers,

Hugh
