We disabled that on my network for that very reason.  We did this a while ago
and I've forgotten to check the current status of this bug.  It seems that
it has been a long time for it to go unfixed...

A message previously on this list:

To: ircservices at ender.shadowfire.org
Subject: Re: [IRCServices] Guest Nick Error

This is a known bug with Services (I think I might have even added it to
the Bugs list - *proud look*)

This will hopefully, and most probably, be fixed inthe next release of
Services.
