Comment (by QuLogic):

 Well, it looks like this is happening because the MSN prpl calls
 `purple_conversation_new`. It needs a `GtkIMHtml` to store the smiley:
 {{{
 /* If the conversation doesn't exist then this is a custom smiley
  * used in the first message in a MSN conversation: we need to create
  * the conversation now, otherwise the custom smiley won't be shown.
  * This happens because every GtkIMHtml has its own smiley tree: if
  * the conversation doesn't exist then we cannot associate the new
  * smiley with its GtkIMHtml widget. */
 }}}
 And hidden conversations are only set up in the `received_im_cb` in
 pidgin. As you can see from the pasted code up there, the uiop is only
 `pidgin_conv_new_hidden` for that little bit of code.

 So I'm not sure what to do exactly, since the MSN prpl shouldn't be
 messing with uiops.
