Nothing in Freeside could possibly generate that exact error.  When
reporting errors, always report the ENTIRE, EXACT ERROR, WITH CUT AND
PASTE.

I'm guessing the error you received was:

  Error: Illegal username (error code illegal_username) (2-50): 

Note the trailing colon and the absense of any value, as would be
returned by FS::svc_acct::check:

  if ( $username_uppercase ) {
    $recref->{username} =~ /^([a-z0-9_\-\.\&]{$usernamemin,$ulen})$/i
      or return gettext('illegal_username'). " ($usernamemin-$ulen): ". $recref->{username};
    $recref->{username} = $1;
  } else {
    $recref->{username} =~ /^([a-z0-9_\-\.\&]{$usernamemin,$ulen})$/
      or return gettext('illegal_username'). " ($usernamemin-$ulen): ". $recref->{username};
    $recref->{username} = $1;
  }

Since the username is being passed as part of your signup data, as shown
by your debug trace below, I'd guess that you have made a serious error
configuring your service definitions, have set the `username' to a fixed
value, and are blanking out all usernames.  Do you receive the same
error adding usernames for this service with the regular web interface?

If that's not the case, I have no idea what could be causing the
username to disappear before it gets to FS::svc_acct::check.

Start fs_signup_server first.
