telepathy-idle shouldn't choose a nickname before authenticating on IRC server

Description
Every time I start Empathy and it connects to irc.ubuntu.com, I get a chat window from NickServ telling me:
NickServ: This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify
<password>. NickServ: You are now identified for milanbv.
It seems Telepathy is not authenticating fast enough for the server. I don't know how this works, but maybe there's a way to send the password at the same time as you ask for a nickname, so that we don't get this useless and annoying dialog. (Empathy devs told me this is a problem with Telepathy rather than their client.)
Or it that a bug in the server?
I'm using telepathy-idle 0.1.6-1 on Ubuntu 10.10.
Version: 5.6
