For most people, the responses are shown and are handled properly.

For the people seeing this problem, when they do see it, there is no  
response to the ping at all shown in the debug window.  Other <iq>  
stanzas receive responses without incident, e.g. (from the same log  
quoted previously which had a ping timeout):
(Libpurple: jabber) Sending (ssl): <iq type='set'  
id='purpled097a9b2'><bind xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp- 
bind'><resource>Adium</resource></bind></iq>
(Libpurple: jabber) Recv (ssl)(142): <iq id="purpled097a9b2"  
type="result"><bind xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-bind"><jid>USER- 
JID/Adium076694A9</jid></bind></iq>

It appears that Mac OS X 10.4 has libxml2 2.6.16 (which I think is the  
version you meant).  I'll find out if they were using 10.4.  If anyone  
is using Mac OS X 10.5, the problem is being seen with later libxml2  
versions, as 10.5 has libxml2 2.6.30.
