Basically as the title says... Is there a way to start a conversation with a user if they have a comma in their username?

I don't believe it is, but you can't have a username with a comma. Even if you try it from the AdminCP you get an error...
digitalpoint may very well have a user with a comma as he was on vBulletin forever.
The only solutions here as far as I can see are:
Change the delimiting character used in the explode function in the controller.
Change the username.
Do something with jQuery so that the selected user IDs are passed to a hidden input and modify the controller to get the users from that rather than the usernames.
Maybe store a cache of usernames with commas in and handle these as a special case in the function before they're exploded to an array in the controller.

Didn't think of that.
If it were me, I would opt for the first option (it seems like the quickest option).
