Changelog: 

OOH!  I think I found the cause of a bug!  I changed this function in revision
eadc83c534fbbc673a6876ddb1e0bdac8428c07b to try to make it cleaner.  When I
did that, I added a break here when I should have added a continue.  The result
is that if we encounter a non-utf8 name for an item in your server side buddy
list then we bail out earlier and don't add any server stored buddies to your
local list.  That's bad.  I think this caused a lot of people to not see their
complete buddy list.  This probably affected ICQ users a lot more than AIM 
users, because ICQ users tend to use more 3rd party IM clients, and 3rd party
IM clients sometimes put non-utf8 text in the name field of these items when
they shouldn't.

Hopefully fixes #13386
