It does not.  It will however handle usernames with an embedded @ as any
other, as you've already found.

Or you might retain the uppercase realm and try to cross-sign between
the uppercase and lowercase realms.  Your (somewhat silly) clients logon
to the lowercase realm and gain access to the (less errorprone) uppercase
realm.
