Comment (by evands):

 This is [http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/7682 Adium Ticket #7682]. From the
 debug logging there, it appears that the socket callback is being
 triggered for a write when libpurple is expecting only a read:
 {{{

 }}}

 The debug logging which doesn't start with {{{(Libpurple}}} is from Adium;
 the "Called write with no write_tag" occurs when the socket callback is
 called as described above.
