My surname once broke authentication system behind my university. Any time I tried to login, it would crash for a few minutes logging out other users. Years later when I got my British passport it also contained my surname "latinised". I was told I should mail Home Office and get some certification that naturalisation certificates and passports don't include special accented letters and in fact the passport contains a mistake that cannot be corrected in the passport. Technically I have my Polish passport with different surname than the British one. This story isn't that unusual.
