GC user kiwimykl has been geocaching with that username since January 2015 but PGC does not recognise him. I could get him to run self support but I suspect the problem would be bigger than that as PGC should have found him by now.

Corrupt database entry?

did he authenticate already? I guess there is no good way to find a new cachers as a new caches as already discussed ...
PGC already finds users who have never logged into PGC. I am guessing this maybe a symptom of the current database issues.
some. But I would say not all. Same as with the caches.

The user exists and can be referenced here, but the username is "Kiwimykl". The capital is relevant, since a day or two. This was a necessary change due to existing users with very similar names.

Entering "kiwi" returns a case-insensitive list of possible usernames. However it won't find Kiwimykl. Kiwimykl is only found when using "Kiwi".

Inconsistent.
The bug still exists....
