Sure it does. But the client must encode the username as a literal:
1 LOGIN {8}
+ ok, send 8 bytes of data.
user\ame password
2 NO LOGIN failed: Login failed. Either your user name or your password
was wrong. Please try again, and if the problem persists, please contact
your system administrator.
vpopmail does not accept usernames with the '\' character in them. I don't
know of other versions of checkpassword's behaviors, though.
