According to SIP BFN, "username" field in Authentication header looks like:

  username          =  "username" EQUAL username-value
  username-value    =  quoted-string

It's a quoted string so it doesn't need to be escaped. I think you are
getting into SIP BNF core issues. No easy solution for it.

Do you mean the "username" field in Authentication header?
