Sharepoint Search Created By field in Search results not consistent

I am using a blog aggregator (CoreResultsWebPart) returning all blog posts from my mysites. I am trying to retrieve the login name of the user who created the blog post in my xsl.

However I am getting inconsistent results. eg:

User login: mydomain\maggie.smith

Returned data for author : mydomain\maggie.smith (CORRECT!)

Another user login : mydomain\bob.hope

Returned data for author : Bob Hope

Now I am assuming that its because the user profile database fetched the display name of Bob hope because that information exists, however, instead of "Bob Hope", I want to get his login name! If I use sharepoint manager to inspect the blog post for 'Bob Hope', all the Created By and Author fields show 'Bob Hope' and not mydomain\bob.hope.

How do I get it? The reason being is to get the users profile picture to attach to my xsl blog aggregation.

I have added other metadata columns to return and recrawled the content source but I cant get the login name of the original author. Help anyone, please!

SPUserField has "Show field" setting. Try to change this to show Login instead of DisplayName for your "CreatedBy" field and see if it would help.
