After analyzing and digging a little bit, I now know where these blank
usernames come from. Part of my auth configuration checks if the
email address being logged in with actually exists:

  server_condition = ${if and { \
        {!eq{$auth1}{}} \
        {!eq{$auth2}{}} \
        { crypteq{$auth2}{\{crypt\}${lookup mysql{SELECT u.password
FROM user u JOIN email e ON u.email_id=e.id JOIN domain d ON
e.domain_id=d.id JOIN website AS w ON w.user_id=d.user_id WHERE
e.name=substring_index('${quote_mysql:$auth1}','@',1) AND
d.name=substring_index('${quote_mysql:$auth1}','@',-1) AND e.active=1
and d.active=1 AND w.status_id<=4;}{$value}fail}} } \
        }}${acl{hash}{$auth1,$auth2}}


So when someone attempts a login with a bare username or an email
address that is invalid, the server condition fails, so various things
don't get set, so the quit/not_quit acl's don't have all the data.

*BUT THAT IS OK* Your current incarnation detects it and still blocks
things properly. It works fantastically.
