Description:
I could reproduce this on my local server MacOSX 10.4.11/apache/MySQL MediaWiki1.12.0 and a bit old Renameuser extension
and also, on ja.wiktionary.org twice.
It can reproduce as blow.

  1. making a new account "foo"
  2. (sysop) block "foo"
  3. (b_crat/sweard) rename user "foo" to "bar"
  4. see ipblockliset, it shows like "blocked user:foo at xxxx-xx-xx" and somr other info
  5. someone get accout foo again
  6. foo *DO* not blocked, although he's on the ipblocklist.

I assume SUL may makes many of user rename job for b_crats on every project,
I think it is not critical software probrem in real means, but it IS psychological critical problem for wikimedia project
with SUL as I think.

NOTE: it's not about a block log but ipblock list. block log is a known bug

to avoid this, sysops on every project need to unblock the one who has been blocked and need to rename
before or after renameuser.

thanks

bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

The entry seems to mainly use the ipb_user column, so that is probably why it is not affecting the new user. I'll take a peek at userrename.
