You could....
The answer to David's issue may be retrieving the userPrincipal. Anyone
know if liferay provides this information in the userPrincipal?
Kevin, a userPrincipal exposes the schema of the user to you. But I'm
not sure what liferay's user repository looks like. You can generally
retrieve information liferay knows about and if you need anything else
then you'll have to use a mechanism like what David suggested or do some
fancy configuration and enhancements of the user repository.

(String) userInfo.get("liferay.user.id") and
PortletRequest.getRemoteUser() return a user id (here:
liferay.com.1) but not the actual name of the user.
But if you have the key you can retrieve the information for yourself
from the database, right?
I know it is not an elegant solution and, as you've indicated, might be
some sort of myfaces problem (I don't know, I'm using just myfaces &
liferay so I haven't seen the other parameters you're looking for), but
it might get you over the problem until the actual responsible party can
fix it...
