In one of your products, in __init__.py, just do:

import re
from Products.CMFCore.RegistrationTool import RegistrationTool
RegistrationTool.__ALLOWED_MEMBER_ID_PATTERN = \
    re.compile(r"^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_\.\-]*$")

(Beware, you got the regexp syntax wrong regarding backslashes, you
should use raw strings like I did.)
