Fletch, SMAC uses the StartQueryCvarValue method of IServerPluginHelpers to determine if the client has sv_consistency set to 1 (if the server has it enabled). It's basically a check to ensure that the client is not faking replicated convar values.
Because the sv_consistency ConVar no longer exists, the SteamPipe clients are returning eQueryCvarValueStatus_CvarNotFound for the query. SMAC is not expecting this, and kicks the client. You are correct in saying that if clients are getting kicked by SMAC for this, the server needs to update their SMAC installation.
