Comment (by johnthedebs):

 I'm getting really strange behavior and I ''think'' it's related to this.
 I had no problems with my buddy list until I tried changing things around
 (editing buddies and groups). Everything was fine until I restarted
 Pidgin, but after that I found I have groups that I had added in addition
 to groups that I had deleted. A lot of buddies were duplicated in multiple
 groups and it seemed like a lot of the stuff I had attempted to delete was
 all back. Trying to fix this just made the problem worse.

 Also, I updated a friend of mine from a beta of Gaim 2.0.0 (unsure which
 it was) to Pidgin 2.2.1. After doing so, keeping in mind they had recently
 done some editing to the buddy list under Gaim, a lot of their old groups
 and buddies showed up again. After trying to delete them and restarting
 Pidgin (and trying Gaim again), most of the buddies were gone and only an
 incomplete backup blist.xml~ file was left that Pidgin couldn't parse
 properly.

 If there's any more information I could provide that would help this get
 resolved more quickly, let me know.
