Comment(by compengi):

 Hmmm.. While rereading the debug log I noticed that while reading or
 fetching the contact list from the passport (MSN Address Book) the buddy
 that I was trying to add had "type: 0" which I assume means in the Address
 Book (or on the server list) but not on the MSN contact list. This could
 mean also in some cases that the buddy was deleted from the MSN list and
 now re-added. What I tried to do is to delete the buddy from my Address
 Book or as in Hotmail it's named (Contacts) and then tried to add the
 buddy again from Pidgin, this solved the issue. Noting that after adding
 the buddy and refreshing the Hotmail website of Contacts list, it was re-
 added to that list. To this point I think Pidgin was trying to add a buddy
 which was already on the server without checking the possibility that this
 buddy could be already on the server's list.
