Yeah, Base64 encoding would certainly help until the platform bug is fixed.
I guess a lot of people with strong passwords (i.e. passwords containing special characters) are in trouble with a lot of apps right now. It's funny you mention two apps I share parts of the codebase with. I stripped down ImapStore for my app and included it as a jar in my package. But it's very very unlikely that this would have an impact.
