Ok... turns out that this is/was a bug in the python smtplib as  
recently as Dec 6 2004:

Patch #1075928: AUTH PLAIN in smtplib.

"smtplib can not log in to some server using command AUTH PLAIN, it  
sends
``user\0user\0pass'' to the server, but ``\0user\0pass'' has better
compatibility."

smtplib.py

Sigh...
