I don't think this is the case. I just tried your method but it returns 
19x1 (admin) even when I made the changes as another user (id 5).

I think the problem is that the workflow custom function is actually 
being run as the admin user. This is why I think I need to query the 
crmentity table for the modifiedby ID based on the entity that initiated 
spawned the custom function.

So I'm thinking something like this should do it (just pseudo code):

function get_userName () {
   // Get the id of the triggering entity (Potential)		
   $entity->get('id');
		
   if crmentity->modifiedby > 1 then {
     get username with the modifiedby value
   } else
     get username with the crmentity->smcreatorid value
   }
   return username;
}

Sound about right?

Cheers

PS: I can retrieve the user name directly from the $entity using 
$entity->user->user_name (and even the first_name, last_name pair) But 
this is *always* admin.
