I suppose you could add a constant, non-overlapping number to add to
the duplicate IDs, say 1000, and then this:

SELECT COALESCE(T1.U_USER, T2.U_USER) AS U_USER
     , COALESCE(CASE
                  WHEN EXISTS(SELECT 1
                                FROM TABLEB
                               WHERE U_ID = T1.U_ID
                                 AND U_USER <> T1.U_USER)
                    THEN T1.U_ID + 1000
                  ELSE T1.U_ID
                END
              , T2.U_ID
               ) AS U_ID
  FROM TABLEA T1 FULL JOIN TABLEB T2 ON T1.U_USER = T2.U_USER

will generate a new list of U_USERs and U_IDs.

Good luck.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
