OK, I received clarification about this from one of my SASL guru
friends.

There are two different instances of "qop": the one sent from the server
to the client (or, in s2s, the other server) and the one sent from the 
client to the server.

The "qop" sent from the server to the client is a comma-separated list
of qops and must be quoted (even if the list of qops contains only one
qop).

The "qop" sent from the client to the server is a single qop and
therefore is not quoted.

Thus jabberd2 has a bug because it is not quoting the qop list it sends
out.
