It seems to be introduced in revision 4018 of gnome-system-tools:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-system-tools?view=revision&revision=4018
        * user-settings.c (user_settings_dialog_new)
        (user_settings_dialog_get_data): disallow changing login name.
        * group-settings.c (group_settings_dialog_new)
        (group_settings_dialog_get_data): ditto for group name.

I'm going to mail the responsible developer to ask why it was changed this way.
