Comment (by tomgr):

 What Maiku said sounds correct but I think the problem is compounded by
 the logic in reading from the connection being slightly confused. The
 other place where purple_ssl_read is used is in jabber.c:434, which is
 approximately equivalent to:

 {{{
 Read as much data as possible
 Attempt to parse the data and use it
 If there was an error whilst reading, report the error
 }}}

 What is currently being done in soap2.c is that if an error is encountered
 whilst reading, it reports the error immediately and discards any data
 received.

 I will attach a patch to make it behave more like jabber - I've been using
 this for quite a while now and it certainly solves the afforementioned
 problem. Also, I've changed the received buffer size to 16384 (double its'
 previous size) to make it greater than the amount of data which is
 received by libpurple from login.live.com. This directly counters the
 problem, but does not solve the (mysterious) cause of it.
