SharePoint Server 2013 Workflow - Problems - Wrong User

I have this problems: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/pt-BR/0efa7c6f-b921-40a4-817f-b3b2e9239fee/sharepoint-designer-2013-workflow-returns-wrong-user

I wonder if it is really a Bug, and if there will be fix?

Copy the ask question--

We have an issue with user logins and their use in Workflow Manager workflows, these workflows have been created in SharePoint designer.

Background:

* Environment

SharePoint 2013 with WFM 1.0 Feb Update, SharePoint Mar and Apr updates.

* Create two users in AD with the following details

First Name: Jack

Surname: Smi

Login: jsmi@domain

First Name: John

Surname: Smith

Login: jsmith@domain

* Create a Custom List and add a People column.

* Create a list 2013 workflow in SharePoint designer.

* First Action: Set your new people column to = item created by user, using Login value

* Second Action: Write a history record displaying the Display Name of your People column value.

Result:

* Create a list item and start workflow as jsmi@domain (Jack Smi)

* People column displays John Smith (Should be Jack Smi)

* Name displayed in history is John Smith (Should be Jack Smi)

Observation:

* We can reproduce this in at least two separate SharePoint 2013 environments.

* We can make sure the right user is assigned by "Set" action in workflow by using the User ID when copying from the source.

* We can not display the correct users name in any history or emails as choosing to show the Display Name of a people variable forjsmi@domain always show the display name for jsmith@domain.

Help:

* Anyone else come across this issue?

* Know of any work arounds?

Thanks.
