Auto-accept

I posted a message earlier asking about Auto-accept and a potential bug in
the Exodus client.  I didn't receive any feedback on the query, but I did
notice a recent fix labeled "Auto-accept" included in a daily build change
log.  I tested the daily build, but I'm still having the same error.  Any
ideas?

Steps to reproduce:
1) Two Exodus clients connected to Jabberd server, both with "Auto-accept
all requests" enabled.
2) Tester1 adds Tester2 as a buddy, resulting in the "subscribe" XML packet.
3) Tester2 client sends "subscribe" XML back to Tester1, requesting Tester1
as a buddy.
4) Tester2 client sends "subscribed" XML back to Tester1, accepting Tester1
subscription request.
5) Tester1 processes the "subscribed" XML, having apparently ignored
Tester1's attempt to subscribe.
6) The net effect, Tester2's buddy list still indicates a pending
subscription request to Tester1 who successfully added Tester2 to his own
list.

Should the Exodus client respond with "subscribed" before attempting to
request subscription with "subscribe"?

Please advise.  Thanks.
