Thanks, https://bugs.launchpad.net/mudlet/+bug/1322753 does look to be
the same/similiar.

My previous experience with $ in the username was a year or so back. It
wasn't starting the name, someone had created a user and replaced an 's'
in the middle of it with a $.

You could go ahead and close this as a duplicate of 1322753.

Title:
  Profiles won't install if special characters

Status in Mudlet:
  New

Bug description:
  I was aware of this previously: When the package manager unzips, if
  there's a $ present in the system username the unzip/package install
  fails. It appears it's not just the presence of a $, it's many special
  characters.

  You group-say 'It's going to be the path /users/username/.config'
  You group-say 'if 'username' has something funky in it that might cause problems'
  You group-say 'Does your windows username have any special characters in it?'
  You group-say 'in particular a dollar sign?'
  Sobes group-says 'I think that Root profile is named in Russian'
  Sobes tells you 'yea, username is in win1251 codepage'
