It is the way Bahamut uses to fake ircop hostnames via the #define
STAFF_HOST

The function bahamut uses for this feature removes the sptr->ip and
replaces sptr->hostip with 0.0.0.0 leading to a 0 in the NICK line. This
is by design. That log warning can be ignored, I believe.

Services should even not set users +r when identifying to a non
authenticated nickname, to prevent clone attacks to +R channels or
flooding +R users, by simply registered and identifying.
