This last sentence may indicate the problem. Do you mean that you have a single 
UNIQUE index over both the username and email fields? If so, that only means 
that the *combination* of username and email must be unique. If you want the 
username to be unique, and the email to be unique, independent of one another 
(and you probably do), then you need two UNIQUE indexes: one on the username 
field and another on the email field.
