These are visible, printable characters. Comment 0 mentions "non-printing
characters". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-printing_character

I tried on test2.wikipedia.org (version 1.21wmf5) to create an account as
Maly&shy;acko (save as HTML file, open it in browser, copy from the browser
display, as described in comment 0).

RESULT:

Login error
The name "Maly­acko" is not allowed to prevent confusing or spoofed usernames:
Contains unassigned character U+00AD. Please choose another name.

So I consider this FIXED as there is a check in place (though I don't know
where a blacklist or whitelist is located though, and which exact characters
are covered by it).
