They are right, it's a bug in the bridge, I will fix that.

PRIVMSG always has exactly 2 parameters and the second parameter (message text) often contains spaces, so most IRC clients choose the simplest way to encode these commands which is to always prefix the second parameter with : (to allow spaces in message text). This way it works in all cases, and the IRC clients don't have to check if the message contains spaces. That's why this bug hasn't been detected yet.
