From the information provided to this list, it is reasonable to assume that other wikipedians, besides this one, have been dealt with by other arbcomcs, besides the pt.wiki arbcom, by their real names, like Virgilio A. P. Machado, NOT their user names, like Vapmachado.
for context, here is the case
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conselho_de_arbitragem/Casos/2009-09-...
This page lists existing arbcoms: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Arbitration_Committee
For reasons of the utmost importance, not only to this user but to the communities at large, the assistance of the members of this list is asked in helping identifying as many of those cases as possible.
I am not aware of cases on English Wikipedia which are named after the person except where that person used their name as their username. It is typical that we avoid a name where a username exists.

However there are many cases named after people where their name is also their username.

English Wikipedia ArbCom usually blanks old decisions on request of a person whose real name is mentioned in the page.

I was thinking of another case, whose link on enwiki is [[Wikipedia:Requests for Arbitration/Real-name]]. That case had two users, both under their real names. One of them was the user whose real name was used for the case.
Like John says, cases usually try to avoid using a real name where possible. But if the user's username is their real name then it will be named in the case for that reason.

On the English Wikipedia, we generally try to avoid bringing editors' real names into decisions, unless the username is the real name. In the three years I've been an arbitrator, we have extended this courtesy even to some highly troublesome users. (Aficionadoes of the En-WP arbitration pages will recognize the "Mantanmoreland" and "MZMcBride 2" cases as examples.)
I am not clear, however, on why this issue of such such importance to the thread-creator.
