The following change (present as of 0ee10aff098b) was introduced
into lisp/erc/erc.el back this June:

This added the “user mode” sign – previously kind of specific to
address@hidden – into the string returned by erc-format-nick.
Thus, the only code difference left between the two is the
(presumably accidental) lack of the (when user …) in the former:
4227 (defun erc-format-nick (&optional user _channel-data)
…
4230 (let ((nick (erc-server-user-nickname user)))
4231 (concat (erc-propertize

4258 (concat (erc-propertize
4259 (erc-get-user-mode-prefix nick)
4260 'face 'erc-nick-prefix-face)
4261 nick))))
I believe that this change was unintended, is not helpful in any
way (if the intent was to get rid of the former, it should’ve
been aliased over, not redefined, shouldn’t it?), and should
thus be reverted.

I no longer observe the issue (as of 2014-11-18 build,
cb4f666ade76.) Per my reading of the Git log, it was fixed in
Git master back this September:

Regression fix - #bug18551
As it seems, the emacs-24 branch was never affected by this bug.
