Okay, a bit more info.

It only seems to happen to the *first* user to join the channel.
I added a second user and made them an autoop.  Whichever joins the 
channel first gets their operator mode removed by services.dragoncat.net.
The other one when it joins, gets given chanops by ChanServ.  Also, 
killing services and restarting them results in the correct modes being 
given to the user.  It's also correctable by issuing a /msg Chanserv deop 
#channel user and then a /msg chanserv op #channel user.  Attempting to 
issue the op alone result is a message from chanserv about already being 
opped.

Looking a bit further, I found the 'KnownBugs' list and this seems to be 
related to the bug on 'failure to detect node bouncing' though I'm not 
sure why this might be.

Looking at the code, the problem seems to be in the input to
check_chan_user_modes.

The difference is that u->mode seems to be 1 in the case of the first user 
to join the channel even though it is getting unset by the services 
server.  It looks as if the service is not noticing that the +o mode for 
first user on the channel was automatically reset (even though I have 
LEAVEOPS set on the channel :() and thus thinks it doesn't need to set the 
op.

I'm more than willing to help debug this further if people can suggest 
where I might want to go looking.

Followups to this should probably move to the code list if they get into 
the nitty-gritty of patches, but I figured initial discussion/report 
should be on the more general list.
