This is low priority, I noticed in the BMC that it warns that the default security setting requires ID 17. You can also change to a lower security setting and ID 3 will then work.
I get the feeling (unconfirmed) that MAAS just asks what is supported and set it to the first thing on the list... perhaps the answer is a simple message saying "We've chosen $ID but if MAAS is unable to control the machine via IPMI, you may need to pick one of the other available IDs or review your server's security policy"
in a popup or something.
Just a thought...
So there IS a workaround, either one of:
A: Change the cipher suite ID to 17 or
B: Change the system security settings to a setting that allows use of ID 3.
