They don't always do that. But looking at their MainMode packet 1 in wireshark, 
They send the following VIDs:
- RFC 3947 Negotiation of the NAT-Traversal in the IKE
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-08
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-07
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-06
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-05
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-04
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-03
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02
- draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02\n
- RFC 3706 DPD (Dead Peer Detection)

I guess what they later do depends on what VID they get in the reply. There 
were quite a few versions of Windows server that returned 90cb80…427b1f 
(draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02\n), so maybe Paul's implementation was a 
surprise for iOS.
