Comment:

 There's little that can be done here (and that behavior is intentional).
 The assumption (without the "?join") is that a URI refers to a single
 entity, not a MUC (as you've discovered).

 There's not really a reliable way to determine that.  While we could
 disco#info the entity and determine if it's a chat or user, but that's not
 really do-able on *nix (the dbus script is what opens an IM conversation)
 and it would possibly introduce latency in opening the conversation window
 (however long it takes to get a response for the disco#info query or time
 out)
