Membership.ValidateUser throw error "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character"

I've been having problems with the Membership.ValidateUser method, it errors out with the message "The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character", when validating an email. it works if validating a username without the @ character present.

this issue was also raised here http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-10752

can somebody please look into this as it's pretty important to be able to login a user.

thanks

EDIT:: it seems to occur with specific emails but not others. so [email protected] fails but [email protected] works
