if you are comfortable editing the code, I think this should do the trick..

take a copy of includes/local_links_include.php and edit.
go to line 1670

function lookup_userids($usernames) {
    global $vbulletin;

    $ids = array();
    foreach ($usernames as $k=>$v) {
        $usernames[$k] = trim($vbulletin->db->escape_string($v));
        $ids[$k] = 0;
    }

change to

function lookup_userids($usernames) {
    global $vbulletin;

    $ids = array();
    foreach ($usernames as $k=>$v) {
        $usernames[$k] = trim($vbulletin->db->escape_string(htmlspecialchars_uni($v)));
        $ids[$k] = 0;
    }

Hi Andrew,
