Comment(by imiganai):

 I just tried--this bug doesn't happen but it definitely doesn't perform as
 expected.
 1) I currently have AIM, MSN, XMPP (Gchat), Yahoo, and Skype accounts set
 up.
 2) I disabled AIM.
 3) I renamed a group that had aim, skype, xmpp, and msn buddies in it.
 4) No effect.  The group name did not change.
 5) I restarted pidgin
 6) The group was now split into two groups, the old group and the renamed
 group.  The only buddies that moved into the new group were the MSN
 buddies, and they lost their aliases.
 7) Re-enabled AIM
 8) The AIM buddies remained with the old group name, thankfully.

 This probably has something to do with grouping by alias.  Every contact
 in that group had an AIM address listed in addition to MSN, Skype,
 whatever.
