Now I remember. It of course needs to be able to reverse the %%Dn_%%Dd
when parsing it back to user at domain, and no such code exists (and I'm
not all that interested in adding such code).

Maybe one potential way to solve this would be to create user aliases
that don't have any dots in the usernames and do the sharing via those
names.
