We do test that case from time to time, but not regularly.

It sounds like something thinks that scram-sha-256 encryption is
disallowed by FIPS.  That may or may not be accurate.  If it's
supposed to be allowed, you'd need to poke a little harder to
narrow down where the problem is.

(Digging in our commit logs, it looks like version 14.2 has some
changes that might make this work better than it did in older
versions; but I can't tell from the log messages whether the
issue being fixed was new-in-14 or not.)
