--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
sshd can't really do anything to fix this because sshd isn't aware of
stuff beneath the POSIX pwd.h API.

One thing you can do is to ban usernames in non-standard forms using
more Match rules, e.g.

> Match user *\\*
>    RefuseConnection yes

Ideally your NSS configuration (or whatever you're using to connect to
AD) would have an option to only accept names in a canonical form. sshd
is not the only software that can get bitten by this.
