[Richard Mansfield <823080@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

If you register with the name "Nigel McNie", the default username that
gets picked for you is "nigelmcnie", and if there's already a
"nigelmcnie" user, you get "nigelmcnie1".

But if there's already a "NigelMcNie" user, you *should* get
"nigelmcnie1", but you get "nigelmcnie" because the check is case-
sensitive.  This causes a duplicate key error when you confirm
registration.
