Old phpBB user appears as a new user

Hi!
My old phpBB forum users on first login are automatic new WP users and appears on phpbb as new member.
Ok i think problem is on WP because it not allow special characters in usernames but somehow change usernames, made it and accept without special characters. And because of that that old forum users becoming (cloned) new users.
For example, old phpbb user =123.xyxy=User after first login atomatic is added as new member on WP as 123.xyxyUser, then that 123.xyxyUser are automatic new phpbb member. That old user is normaly logged in on site/forum as =123.xyxy=User and shown at forum as =123.xyxy=User. But on forum members list are new member too and shown on forum statistic "Our newest members: 123.xyxyUser".
So, all my members with special characters will be cloned as new users but different usernames.
We are small comunity, virtual squadron and we all have special characters in our usernames.
Is this WP or w3all plugin side phenomenon?
