The problem is not in the gateway but in XMPP itself. You can't  
discover any capabilities of roster items while they are offline.

The only handling change in libpurple for guessed gateways is the  
addition of the log in/log out actions, which send directed presences  
to the JIDs. I don't think this is a huge problem when libpurple  
guessed incorrectly.
Further, JIDs without an @ are always some kind of service, where  
logging in/out might be relevant, even when it's not a gateway.
Finally, I can't think of a way or reason how some non-gateway  
service JID should end up on your roster...
