Ok, does it in both for me. No notification appearing anyway, but the @ was automatically converted to a link to the profile.

It's subtly different. See the attachement, which shows the first one as a link if I hover over it, but the second has a hyperlink underline, so the browser knows they are different things. In what way I haven't a clue, though.

A link to a post is of the form "Quote from: T3sl4co1l on Today at 11:05:41 am" followed by the post. Focus on the information.

Um? It's immediately followed by text? There is a tag, and a message; context.

If that's "focus on the person" then I sure as hell don't know what else we're doing right this instant? I put your name in the top of this post, clearly I'm talking to you, focus is on a person.
Is your material complaint literally just that the mere aesthetics of the link aren't "right"? That it's simply not the text used in the quotation box? I still cannot figure out what you're actually complaining of...
Again, if someone chooses to post an extremely-low-information post... that's not my fault? That's theirs for being shite at communication -- or, more likely, intentionally not trying; but even more likely still, trying out a feature they just don't understand yet, and have the opportunity to learn about.

If you have that enabled it has a few features otherwise not present. I recall there was something enabling you to only quote marked text passages for example.

I think we need information from forum admins to figure this out. I was not aware of the problem, @ebastler has raised it to my attention. I tried different things and it was always working for me and not for ebastler. I did not try disabling quick reply, I am not aware of all options but there is I think nothing directly related to mentions. If it is due to quick reply, it is still a problem.

Thanks for making an example of a point I raised earlier, it is not difficult to make a mistake when writing a username if there is no mention with auto-complete.

That underline might be on me. I fiddled around with the WYSIWYG Editor which i normally have disabled here. It might have converted the link once i edited the Post.
Hence another test with the separate Editor, non-WYSIWYG, which i will not edit afterwards. @Ranayna Testtest

Yep, that isn't underlined.
