This is in reference to

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2022-12/msg00651.html

which affects query buffers as well as channels in what will become ERC
5.5 (both Emacs 29 and HEAD). To reproduce from emacs -Q:

  (require 'erc)
  (setq erc-modules (remq 'networks erc-modules))
  (erc :server "127.0.0.1" :port 6667 :nick "tester")

The attached patch tries to address this in a hopefully agreeable
manner. Thanks.
