yes, but I had all sorts of really weird stuff
happening back then on my installation too.  Trust me,
my users were going to abandon my server because of
issues like you describe.  I didn't consider jabberd2
stable until very recently.

(and there have been many many security updates, some
quite major to be actually backported to other openbsd
releases, since jabberd2s2...)

** note ** two (2) major openbsd security advisories
on the jabberd2 package on 3.6....
http://www.openbsd.org/pkg-stable36.html  they have
backported jabberd2s9 to 3.6 because of these
problems.  I'd suggest installing it first and it
might correct some misbehaviour.  package available
here
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.6/packages/i386/jabberd-2.0s9.tgz

Unfortunatley I don't think so, but someone might
correct me.

so, please upgrade, but still not really a solution to
your goal,
