I think it is.. I tried with Evolution later, and found that it was 
giving a (slightly) better error message:  "Server unexpectedly 
disconnected: Unknown error".
With both clients, if I intentionally screw up authentication then I 
get the expected 'failed login' error.. but if I get it right, it looks 
like something on the server end drops the connection.
