If you look carefully, you'll see it is actually sending 0x01 0x01 0x00 
0x09, which is the protocol header for AMQP 0-9.

So we were both wrong :)

I have filed a bug.

In practical terms this doesn't matter as long as the client is talking 
to rabbit since rabbit will happily accept 0-9 connections and treat 
them as 0-9-1. The wire format is backward compatible between the 
versions so a genuine 0-9 client can connect too.
