title User:User:RillkeBot
This isn't a valid title. Garbage in, garbage out?

This may be true but the user does not set the title. This is done by the javascript interface of the extension.
Sorry, I got confused and thought you were manually POSTing. I just confirmed that the interface is broken: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:User:RillkeBot&oldid=100086116.
Was Commons recently updated? Perhaps related to MediaWiki 1.22wmf10.
Also appears to be broken on test.wikipedia.org: https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:User:Legoktm#A_kitten_for_you.21. Hrmph.

Looks like it's probably due to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/64883
It looks to me like that didn't cause it, it just exposed it. The real problem lies in the Javascript, where it blindly prepends "User:" to each item in the recipients list (ext.wikiLove.core.js line 705) even though the one entry in the default recipient list (ext.wikiLove.core.js line 34) already begins with "User".

Don't construct titles like User:User:Hoo in JS
