The database field ipb_by_text of the table ipblocks is unused by the api. The api makes a join with the user table. Looks like old code, because ipb_by_text was added in 1.13, maybe update for better performance?
Nice catch. The only downside I can see to this, is we then get "old" names, as the block logs aren't renamed. ie on en.wiki, I was "Reedy Boy", but now I'm "Reedy". Not so much of a big deal IMHO Thanks! r82568

Aye, not a big deal, and would need a cleanup maintenance script
Maybe needs a revert, see bug 31863
