Description

I changed the name on my Twitter account from resiak to wjjjjt this morning. The error from keybase id about my previous proof in the name of resiak contains a literal ${username_service}:

% keybase id resiak@twitter
▶ INFO Identifying wjt
✔ public key fingerprint: 1E68 E58C F255 8883 0164 5B56 3422 DC0D 7AD4 82A7
[ irrelevant, passing assertions removed ]
✔ "resiak" on twitter failed: Bad post authored: wanted ${username_service} but got wjjjjt (code=203) [cached 2017-02-22 08:58:41 GMT]
▶ ERROR Unmet remote assertions for user "wjt"

I also notice that it has a check mark, rather than (say) a cross.

Research direction

Start with the keybase id resiak@twitter entry point and use the reported assertion failure as the reproduction case. Trace the Twitter proof failure output; done means the username placeholder is substituted correctly and the failure indicator accurately reflects the failed assertion.
