I've not looked at your code, or the IRC activity, but I've written IRC
clients long ago ...  and there are some commands that will be ignored
by the server if they are delivered too quickly or before the first ping
pong response.  Resuming saved configuration from journal might well
help the activity to violate these restrictions.  So add some debug
logging to your activity so that you can verify the commands are being
sent at the right time.
