I like both of those approaches
It's a technical issue having to do with the software that runs the site. Nothing that can be tweaked individually for FT, unfortunately. Maybe in some future version it won't be a problem any longer, or we will be able to turn off punctuation in user names. For now, we deal with it as best we can on a case-by-case basis.
