Item9793: DIfferent behaviour with IF statement and 'ingroup'

Since the new install of Foswiki 1.1.0 I have a different/strange behaviour when using IF statement and checking group membership. We have apache login with kerberos so our login names look like username@KERBEROSREALM. In previous releases we tested group membership:

%IF{"'%WIKINAME%' ingroup 'AdminGroup'" then="is admin" else="is no admin" }%

Now, this does not work anymore and I have to test it:

%IF{"'%USERNAME%' ingroup 'AdminGroup'" then="is admin" else="is no admin" }%

I created a test topic (in my local environment) as follows:

   * WIKINAME: %WIKINAME%
   * USERNAME: %USERNAME%

| *Who* | *Group* | *in?* |
| %WIKINAME% | AdminGroup | %IF{"'%WIKINAME%' ingroup 'AdminGroup'" then="yes" else="no" }% |
| %WIKINAME% | Main.AdminGroup | %IF{"'%WIKINAME%' ingroup 'Main.AdminGroup'" then="yes" else="no" }% |
| %USERNAME% | AdminGroup | %IF{"'%USERNAME%' ingroup 'AdminGroup'" then="yes" else="no" }% |
| %USERNAME% | Main.AdminGroup | %IF{"'%USERNAME%' ingroup 'Main.AdminGroup'" then="yes" else="no" }% |

with the following result:

In the IfStatements docu there is the USERNAME example mentioned, but shouldn't it work also with WIKINAME?

What is going wrong here? Is it (my) user error?

New state,

in 1.1.3 the user TobiasVonDerKrone is member of AdminGroup and all works as expected.
