Disconnected when trying to initialize a conversation (OTR)

Description

OpenFire: 3.7.1
BitlBee: 3.0.4+devel+852-1

Whenever I try to start a new conversation with someone on my contact list I get disconnected. The OpenFire server gets a "Disallowed character" exception. If they instead initialize the conversation with me, we can chat without problem.

[15:32] <joe> ping?
[15:32] jane is away, reason: Away (I'm not here right now)
[15:32] *** jane quit (openfire.server.se openfire.server.se)

As soon as I send the "ping?" I get disconnected.

[15:32] <@root> jabber - Error: Error while reading from server
[15:32] <@root> jabber - Signing off..
[15:32] *** jane quit (openfire.server.se openfire.server.se)

Turning off OTR (set otr_policy never) solves the problem.

pesco, I'm pretty sure something funky is going on in the OTR module.

We managed to get a log fragment from the Jabber server eventually, showing what data it received from BitlBee:

Some weird corruption going on there. Some poking with gdb showed more:

19:33:02     wilmer| Tobbe_: You hit the breakpoint now?
19:33:27     wilmer| hit n once, then print jd->tx_len and ->txq
19:39:39     Tobbe_| len: 274
19:40:13     Tobbe_| and I don't get the full txq
19:40:19     wilmer| But what does it start with?
19:41:00     Tobbe_| "?OTR:AAIKAAAAwN54fkaRh3UKdsrCiw3cbD//kCjTHTSpaX/7/78rxqALiPrki

Of course it could be anything at this point, but the problem definitely did go away after disabling OTR. Also, I've never before seen this problem anywhere and this Jabber I/O code is five years old..

I can reproduce the same bug (probably) but with different conditions.

I'm connecting to jabberd2 2.2.14 server. I have two bitlbee 3.0.5 clients. In OTR opportunistic mode with xmlconsole enabled I get disconnected with a similar error:

[testing] hello 
<xmlconsole> TX: <message type="chat" to="testing@jabber.server/BitlBee"><body>hello</body></message>
<xmlconsole> RX: <stream:error xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams"><xml-not-well-formed xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams"/><text xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams">not well-formed (invalid token)</text></stream:error>
<root> jabber - Error: Stream error: xml-not-well-formed: not well-formed (invalid token)
<root> jabber - Signing off..
-:- SignOff testing [testing@jabber.server]: &bitlbee (bitlbee.localhost jabber.server)
<root> jabber - Reconnecting in 5 seconds..

If I turn off opportunistic mode, all works as expected:

<presi> set otr_policy manual         
<root> otr_policy = `manual'       
[testing] hellooo         
<xmlconsole> TX: <message type="chat" to="testing@jabber.server/BitlBee"><body>hellooo</body></message>

Without xmlconsole all works fine. So I think there is a strange interaction with magic characters of oportunistic mode with some servers and with jabber module too as xmlconsole triggers it.

I am hitting this too with current BitlBee dev on ejabberd 2.1.11. Only with xmlconsole true and otr_policy opportunistic.
