[3:27pm] <ANTRAiCX> -Global- [Network Notice] Our network has been
experiencing a major increase of unattended bots connecting. We are taking
many defensive actions to make sure that they do not interrupt the normal
activity of the network. If you receive a CTCP LAG, please ignore it, as it
is our Opers running :a scan to detect malicious bots. If you have any
questions, please join #Help and speak to an Oper. - XanaX, Sr. Network

And of course it still does it on mIRC as well.
So my tests show that this bug is in fact an ircservices bug, and not
related to any mirc errors. Testing in 3 other clients all performed the
exact same way, and duplicated the exact same results. The source notice of
course didn't have the ":" in it, however it appeared at the same location
for all 3 of the clients.
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer,
JL.

This is believed to be an mIRC bug. Try with another client.
