[dokuwiki] installer.php: reason for very strict username-filtering for the superuseraccount?

Hi folks,
if I'm installing a new DokuWiki with enabled ACL (normal upload,
calling example.com/installer.php), I can't use a username like
lastname.firstname
for the superuseraccount directly from scratch.
The installer.php rejects it as invalid value (the dot is not allowed,
see line 236):
> if(!preg_match('/^[a-z1-9_]+$/',$d['superuser'])){
Creating the superuser
lastnamefirstname
and rename it via DokuWiki usermanager to
lastname.firstname
after the installation is finished seems to be no problem. The DokuWiki
usermanager is less stict than the installer.
Bug or feature? I think it is at least inconsistent behaviour, cause the
DokuWiki usermanager accepts lastname.firstname. Is there any reason for
blocking dots within the username of the superuseraccount? Am I running
into trouble using them (I can't imagine, but better safe than sorry)?
