   RFC 1994 Section 4 states that the packet format contains a one-octet identifier.  In this case, the leading "\000".

  RFC 2433 and 2579 say that the Failure packet is identical in formation to the normal CHAP message format.  i.e. with the identifier.

  Further, FreeRADIUS interoperates with all MS-CHAP implementations, which add the 1-octet identifier, and which look for it.
