OK.

Is there a way, perhaps through disco, to tell if a server responds to 
those fields? I'd would be nice if a game server program, upon launch, 
could make sure that the MUC server it's configured to use supports the 
only configuration fields it knows how to send.

I don't think that's the case here... the non-creating user (the Volity 
player who has just asked a game server to make a new table) is 
entering the room less than a second after the newly spawned referee 
creates and enters it (and then fails to configure it due to lines of 
code I commented out while debugging).

I've asked Andy to drop the volity.net MUC server back to the jabberd 
version for the time being.
