Even worse is when they strip the plus sign out after the fact and then you can't log in anymore because you didn't realize that's what has happened.

Yees this has happened to me before but with passwords. They have some length limit that they clamp to so you can't login after registering and I have to do a password reset right after signing up. Happened multiple times to me.
