Jason, You should definitely not run any version of VNC Personal Edition prior to P4.2.3 on your server system, since earlier releases had a remote-access security issue.
If VNC Server has Encryption set to "Prefer On/Off", and is using VNC Authentication, then VNC-compatible viewers will be able to connect without issues. You may wish to report the bug you're seeing with Apple Remote Desktop to Apple so that they can resolve it in a future release.
