Comment (by rekkanoryo):

 Likely because other clients are truncating the password at the 16th
 character.  The page that allows you to set a password specifies a maximum
 length of 16 characters for the password, so only the first 16 characters
 entered are the actual password.  For example, if I set my password to
 1234567890abcdefgh, the h will be truncated from the password both when
 set and by the other clients.

 Obviously a solution here is to have libpurple truncate the password to 16
 characters.  Given that MSN doesn't allow setting a password longer than
 16 characters, this seems to be the correct solution.
