Because of this code snippet:
        if nickname and not hasattr(self,'nickname'):
            self.nickname=nickname

It's in UserInfo.py, around line 850, or so. Oh, I fixed the eval and execs
there, so please don't flame on the quality of the code. :)

Change the if nickname and not... thing to:
        if nickname:
            self.nickname = nickname
I think that will do...

Goddamned it's hot in here,
