It seems like my changes in #3656 made this redundant. I could not reproduce what was described in https://github.com/SpigotMC/BungeeCord/commit/830f18a I guess the reason for that is that in my change i used the offline uuid for rewriting if ip forward is disable and online mode enabled. In exact this case before the premium uuid was used and could later not be rewritten anymore when the player has disconnected.
BungeeCord
Layer 7 proxy designed to link Minecraft servers.
BungeeCord is a sophisticated proxy and API designed mainly to teleport players between multiple Minecraft servers. It is the latest incarnation of similar software written by the author from 2011-present.
Information
BungeeCord is maintained by SpigotMC and has its own discussion thread with plenty of helpful information and links.
Security warning
As your Minecraft servers have to run without authentication (online-mode=false) for BungeeCord to work, this poses a new security risk. Users may connect to your servers directly, under any username they wish to use. The kick "If you wish to use IP forwarding, please enable it in your BungeeCord config as well!" does not protect your Spigot servers.
To combat this, you need to restrict access to these servers for example with a firewall (please see firewall guide).
