I'll give you a hint. The reason why I can do that is directly related to the trip phrase option in your user control panel.

You were more or less right with your first guess. CP866. The Russian and Cyrillic codeblocks have dublicate letters that the forum software doesn't recognize as such. That's how I was able to create dublicate accounts such as Lanny and -SpectraL. There should also be one or two extra Kinkous in the database.
Lanny found out about it and created the trip phrase option which is individually created for each user and impossible to dublicate. He also did something so you can't dublicate usernames with CP866 anymore. He called it crypto-hacking and my e-pean grew 12 inches.

I haven't checked the tags in a while there's some new ones there. Each tag has the potential to break a lot of shit.

Oh damn, that is some quality NIS history.
Pretty clever work around.
The best thing I could think of was to italicize one of the letters in a enhancemented word.
E.g.:
It renders as Chr
istmas instead of Christmas.
