Comment(by Calanyo):

 Same here.  Was using 2.6.2 (on XP) and my name kept getting reset to my
 email address.  Upgraded to 2.6.3 and the same.

 Just tried the patched dll and it's doing exactly the same thing.

 As a suggestion for a work-around, how about checking that the name stored
 on the server is not the same as your username (email address)?  If not,
 then use what's on the server; otherwise, use the locally-stored name.
