It's both - it's a bug in ejabberd that it doesn't follow the spec,
and it's a bug in the spec because that's not sensible :)
It seems not so sensible when the admin happens to be authenticating
directly to the server hosting the chatroom. But for the case where
the administrator authenticates elsewhere, possibly to a server under
separate administrative control, (to the extent that password
protected rooms are at all sensible) it seems at least reasonable for
a server to be allowed to require the administrator know the password.
