Comment:

 This is indeed a server problem, and we've seen it before.  I forget
 exactly what the details are, but the server is sending the channel
 information in an order which contravenes the standard.

 If you provide a connection trace, I'll see if I can a) pinpoint the
 problem, and b) work around the broken server; however, if I recall
 correctly, the big issue is that it requires us to store some channel
 information on faith that the join will eventually show up (I think it
 sends topic, names, then join), which means we have to have a mechanism
 for timing that information out and blah blah blah ... which takes effort
 I'm not likely to jump on too soon.

 However, if the channel window is never popping up at all, it sounds like
 you're not receiving a JOIN at all, or you're receiving a JOIN we don't
 understand -- ''that'' part, I can quite possibly fix easily, if other
 clients understand it.
