The main mediawiki server and DB do the right thing with @ symbols, but the
user rights tools can't.   There's a user on english wikipedia with one of
those, it's a known issue.

New MW distributions apparently default to not letting you set up accounts
with @ symbols in them, though I haven't tested that.
