Well, from here I don't see this issue popping up a lot on the list,
which leads me to believe it's a very rare situation. Is it worth the
effort of a complete redesign (which works everywhere else) to
accomodate one server?

From the user's point of view, sure! They're not doing the work, and
they want the server to work. :-) Under normal circumstances, wouldn't
we contact the server operator to figure out why *their* end is broken?

Just my $0.02, US.
