I can't think off-hand of a way for the server to know what version
the client is.  There's nothing really different in the protocol
between a 1.6.1 client and a v1.5.5-rc0~44^2 (introduction of
include-tag) or later client.

So there's no easy way for the server to work around this possible
glitch in the client.
