Me too I am running into this problem. For now the problem seems to be the Wordpress post screen which holds a Author pulldown (post_author_override). This list does not hold the bridged users and so make it impossible to save the correct user. It simply overwrites with a wordpress user.

I have found a quick and dirty way to work around this problem. By adding the users who have the possibility to create posts into the wordpress tables.

INSERT INTO `wp_users` (`ID`, `user_login`, `display_name`) VALUES (3, 'Chris', 'Chris')
INSERT INTO `wp_usermeta` (`user_id`, `meta_key`, `meta_value`) VALUES (3, 'wp_capabilities', 'a:1:{s:6:\"author\";b:1;}')

Please note in this example my table prefix is wp_ this might be different for you. Replace the 3 with your vbulletin userid (http://www.yourforum.com/forum/member.php?u=3) and replace Chris with the vbulletin username.
