Hi Johann, In IS 5.0 filter=username eq name gave the result that you are expecting here, but we changed it to return only meta data since retrieving all attributes is costly. Spec also mentions that query should minimally return meta data, returning additional data or all data is also compliant with the spec IIRC.
So in my opinion, what you are suggesting here is moving back to the old functionality we had and I believe if we are to do that, we will have to do that at the cost of performance. I suppose this may not as costly as 2 network calls if filter returns only 1 result. But it is not guaranteed in filter or attribute thing you are suggesting that it will return only 1 result, so still performance can be a issue.
