Thats a bug in the config backend which uses "|" as separation character for lists, like nicknames.

Mirco, what do you think about using some non-printable character for this? Say, like \0.
I agree that this makes the configuration file less hand-editable though.

LOL a redmine bug chokes on your \0 ^^

That would surely work but makes it incompatible with older versions. I
thought about escaping the | character with some other char... but I think in the long run I will just replace that pure INI hack with some proper config backend, say XML/YAML class serialization. So IMHO not worth it to add more hacks to this for now, better replace it with something proper.

This needs a new config backend which is postponed to 0.9
