Looks like this is the problem. I have a username with a dash in. Unfortunately, going without the dash is not an option: My webspace provider, when generating things for internal usage at the website, only gives me the option of appending something to the end of a fragment of username that has a dash in it, rather than generating a whole new username from the get go.
Is there a way around this can't-use-a-username-with-a-dash problem?
Under the theory that this might be an internal bug with MediaWiki itself, I have created a Bugzilla report on it, here:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6063
MediaZilla bug# 6063
I suppose any further discussion on it will take place there.
