Seems like a problem with the client rather than the protocol.

Yeah, there was a similar bug in HexChat and other (pango?) stuff some years back. I remember even though I was using irssi, it could crash my Termite window.
Kinda, but if there is only a limited subset of clients and everyone is basically on the one default per platform, it simply doesn't help.
