No. If the server accepts the protocol version it should respond by 
speaking the protocol (starting with a connection.start method). It will 
only respond with "AMQPabcd" if it does *not* support the version the 
client asked for, to let the client know what it does support.

The problem is that we treat getting an "AMQPabcd" header back as 
meaning there must be a protocol version mismatch. We hven't explicitly 
coded for the case where the client says "I want 0-9-1" and the server 
says "sorry, I only support 0-9-1"...
