Comment (by deryni):

 So the problem here is that the response to this join failure is awkward
 (in terms of normal protocol design) compared to how this would ideally
 work and that makes it more complicated to handle than is really
 desirable.

 Given a quick glance at the code for two other xmpp clients neither of
 them seemed to handle this correctly either. (Though that's probably
 because password protected rooms are rare in the XMPP world in my
 experience with people favoring members-only rooms instead as being easier
 to deal with and not requiring password rotation should someone be kicked
 out.)
