This actually is consistent with other logs.  Compare:

*
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Superm401
(block log, unprefixed performer)
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=User:Superm401
(block log, prefixed performer, User: is treated as part of the username, so it
doesn't work as intended)

*
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&page=Willy+on+Wheels
(block log, unprefixed target, auto-prefixed)
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&page=User:Willy+on+Wheels
(block log, prefixed target)

So unless there is some difference I'm missing, this is a general issue with
Special:Log.  However, it does seem fixable (or enhanceable), so moving
components.
