First, it doesn't do case-independent matching on SASL authenticator types (e.g. "auth plain" does not work but "auth PLAIN" does).
Second, it does not issue proper empty challenges. It issues "334 =" instead of the correct "334 ".
Basically, it's a variant of the problem described in:

Please contact Google and report the problem.
