Yeah, it was using [^:]* to match the middle args.  Patch below.  I
added a test for this case in the patch, although this could probably
use some more testing to make sure I haven't broken other cases.

Subject: [PATCH] Make rcirc parsing more RFC2812 compliant (Bug#36233)

Do continue to allow multiple spaces between arguments, even though
that is technically not allowed by the RFC.
* lisp/net/rcirc.el (rcirc-process-server-response-1): Fix parsing of
arguments which contain colons.
* test/lisp/net/rcirc-tests.el: New test.
