UTF-8 nick names in jabber group chats don't work

Description
Bitlbee has problems handling UTF-8 nick names in jabber group chats. With another client, I'm using the nick ':ムだ⎔N' in a group chat. Bitlbee silently ignores messages sent from this nick and does not display the name in the channel user list. I'm aware that IRC usually doesn't allow UTF-8 characters in nick names, however I think that bitlbee should handle that problem differently than by simply ignoring these messages, for example by choosing a random nick or by displaying the local part of the jabber ID instead.
I have experienced these problems with bitlbee 3.0.3 as well as a recent nightly build (3.2+20130115+devel+969-1) without libpurple. I have also tried using libpurple which did in fact help (the messages were shown with nick name '_N'), but I had some other inconveniences with libpurple, so I'd like to avoid that.

Okay, closing to replace with #1027
Weird stuff.
After further debugging, I noticed that this has nothing to do with UTF-8 nor with nick names, but what I experienced are in fact the symptoms of another bug that I'm going to report shortly.
Feel free to ignore/close this report.
