Comment (by arlolra):

 aleth says,

 > it's probably that we try not to send PASS by default and use SASL etc
 instead
 > see http://blog.gerv.net/2015/01/using-instantbird-to-connect-to-irc-
 servers-requiring-a-username-and-password/ for an about:config workaround
 > for znc we detect the bouncer and send PASS, but nobody has done the
 equivalent for bip afaik
 > basically, it's a bouncer-specific issue.
