On the chess server there isn't an easy way to make the move, claim the draw, and _then_ press the clock. In a tournament game, not played on a chess server, crafty does it correctly as the output looks like this: My move 14. Nf3 I claim a draw by 3-fold repetition your move. Since the operator has to make the move and press the clock, the operator sees the move, makes it and announces the draw claim while it is still crafty's move, since the clock has _not_ been pressed. This is perfectly according to the rules of chess... This can't be done on a chess server, although there has been discussion about eventually being able to send a move like this: Nf3 [draw] to solve the small semantic problem of when the draw offer is made and when the clock is pressed.
