It can not be fixed without changing the database need a author field and a lanstModifUser field - so it will be only in 1.10. Can you create an entry in dev.tikiwiki.org not to forget to fix it.
An idea will be to always keep to creator
in tiki-edit_article.php

$artid = $artlib->replace_article(strip_tags($_REQUEST["title"], ''), $_REQUEST["authorName"],
		$_REQUEST["topicId"], $useImage, $imgname, $imgsize, $imgtype, $imgdata, $heading, $body, $publishDate, $expireDate, $user,
		$articleId, $_REQUEST["image_x"], $_REQUEST["image_y"], $_REQUEST["type"], $_REQUEST["topline"], $_REQUEST["subtitle"],
		$_REQUEST["linkto"], $_REQUEST["image_caption"], $_REQUEST["lang"], $_REQUEST["rating"], $isfloat);
replace $user with $article_data['author']

code not tested

Same patch to do on replace_submission( in tiki-edit_submission.php

The problem of author name and user....
