If there, in settings, would be a button "Additional (Enter on your own risk)" with some forms and checkbox (if checked -> all other are grayed) "Simulate ICQ 6.5"
That would be perfect

Actually you can change id/version in kopeterc file but it won't fix it because you have to change start flac sequence. The correct fix is in bug 181535, but IIRC the servers reverted the change.
