This truly does sound like a weird bug.

Let me know if I can be of any help. PHP and WordPress code is not an oddity to me, I've done my share of coding themes and such in last two years so if the discussion has to get technical, I can handle it.

I'm out of ideas myself, so I'm going to pass this up the chain and see if we can get some more eyes on it.

If you'd rather not do that, would you mind waiting until your next normal post?

You can do this near the bottom of the post edit page in the Author box.

If you don't see the Author box, click the Screen Options tab near the top-right and make sure that "Author" is checked.

Here's a picture of the dashboard with personal stuff deleted. It's in finnish but I hope you can identify which parts are what.

Gravatar IDs
Do you have a funny looking username assigned through Gravatar that starts with g2-* ?
If so, this was made when an imported Gravatar account had an email address not matching an account with WordPress.com. Please login to WordPress.com and then visit http://wordpress.com /wp-changelogin.php to change this username. http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

Instead of using http://olowi.wordpress.com/author/vesq/ it uses http://olowi.wordpress.com/author/akismet-5658ab63338f501643676d51a8873714/.

This also breaks the widget that displays all authors and links to their posts, because the widget displays links with href of /author/vesq/.

It seems to be the same problem as described here: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/author-link-url?replies=3
