I know where the string comes from: It's suddenly in my widelands conf file (~/.widelands/conf) stored as

realname="Einstein13"

As you mentioned this change happens if you

1. load a map from another author
2. save it
3. Exit widelands

The realname in the widelands conf gets updated and contains now the string of the map author.

A solution would be:
change the realname when a new map is created
prevent the realname change when a saved map is loaded. We should also consider to prevent changing the author of a map through the ui. So a map is bound to an author and could not be easily "stolen" from another person. Changing the author of a map is than only possible through the elemental-file.
