Yeah, getting this with Freephonie as well (all-digit usernames).

I've initially added a local patch to allow all-digits, and checked
phoning was OK. Then I switched to reporting, saw this bug report, and
looked upstream for their fix(es).

Applying the patch to relax username checks gave me a context error, so
I went a bit more in the past and grabbed another patch to relax domain
checks. I've checked it works fine in jessie.

You'll find attached the nmudiff for my upload to DELAYED/5, along with
the prospective patch for a jessie-pu upload.
