it was a pass-through query.
the problem doesn't affect connection with "Parse statement" setting
disabled
(so I suppose it is the parser in the driver that causes it)

Can't we move all settings on a datasource basis continuing to support
all parametrs on connection strings ?

I found the problem was the parser (as point 1)

You can find the authentication response into the backend logs (like the
(in)famous "password authentication failed for user admin")
Instead somebody could activate the logger without my authorization
(consider a pc that shares the hard drive, just put the right reg file into
the startup folder and wait for the next reboot - considering win9x
stability you don't have to wait too much :-)) - so that the log can be
produced... you can grab the password from a network environment even
without ever seeing that pc).
I think it's a security risk.
