What keyboard are you using? Is it on English when you type passwords? Sometimes Latin characters entered by another language than English can trigger this.
It's quite strange indeed, when you enter your username does it appear as a suggestion on the list provided by your Xperia Keyboard and you choose it from there, or you type it all manually? Note that when you choose a suggested word, a space after this word will be inserted by default. Make sure that this space is deleted, it might be the problem.
