Comment:

 Okay, I think "A0" refers to U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE (and the BOM is a.k.a.
 ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE).

 Both of those are, as best as I can tell, are allowable in XMPP stanzas
 (see [http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets XML 1.0 section 2.2
 Characters]), so this is an issue with the server.

 They're most likely occurring when copy-pasting from a terminal (which
 can, I guess, generate characters like that), although I don't know why
 you'd see a U+00A0 when entering 'test message' by keyboard.  Both
 characters are zero-width, so they wouldn't be visible at all in the text
 entry area.
