I just had a friend install the otr proxy for macosx. We have never communicated
using OTR. I have opportustic on in the global config
He logged off to change to his proxy, and then this happened:

(01:16:39) Aaron logged in.
(01:16:52) The encrypted message received from severeddreamsphx is unreadable, as you are not currently communicating privately.
(01:17:02) 9944856: test?
(01:17:03) 9944856: cool
(01:17:07) 9944856: This is encrypted :)
(01:17:10) Aaron: That's odd, I got this error message
(01:17:18) Aaron: from your client
(01:17:19) Aaron: w0rd
?OTR Error: You sent encrypted data to 9944856, who wasn't expecting it.
(01:17:22) 9944856: (01:16:52) The encrypted message received from severeddreamsphx is unreadable, as you are not currently communicating privately.
(01:17:30) 9944856: yeah, i think it was a kickstart problem

I am not sure how the proxy could have send me a private message first, 
before triggering the key exchange.
