There is no easy way to do that. Moin really expects username == 
pagename for the user homepage.

Of course one can hack to code to use Users/UserName, but that has quite 
some consequences, because this is used at quite some places:
 * @SIG@
 * RecentChanges
 * last edit info at bottom of page
 * action=info
 * (maybe more)

So if you are not careful, you might break quite some things.

What it does is looking up the wikiname you configure there in the 
interwiki map and then construct a interwiki link, so that could maybe 
work, just try making a new interwiki map entry like:

UserHome http://yourserver/mywiki/Users/

1.6 will have a better way than those /MoinEditorBackup, but for 1.5 you 
are right (it won't do backups).

Maybe just doing it the "normal" way? :)

CategoryHomePage maybe?
