Comment (by guyr):

 I just discovered something that may or may not help someone identify this
 problem.  On a second system still running GAIM 2.0 Beta 6, if I join a
 chat and type a small amount of jibberish as the chat room (e.g., "123q",
 it puts up an error messages saying "SNAC threw error: Busted SNAC
 payload".  If I type a longer amount of jibberish for a chat room, it
 successfully starts a chat.

 With Pidgin, if I do the same thing, in the first case it just doesn't
 appear to do anything.  In the second case, it will successfully initiate
 a chat.

 My original problem reported above is that I was attempting to join a
 valid chat room that a coworker had initiated, and Pidgin was silently
 failing.
