Comment(by imiganai):

 9) I merged the groups back to the OLD name and recombined the split
 contacts.[[BR]]
 10) I restarted pidgin just to make sure[[BR]]
 11) AIM buddies are duplicated, one under the old name and one under the
 new name.  The other buddies have all moved to the NEW name, even though
 they seemed to be in the old name last time.  One of the MSN contacts I
 had moved back to the old name showed up under the old group, but the
 other went into an MSN group called "Other Contacts".  All contacts under
 the OLD name have split up into individual buddies.[[BR]]
 12) I restart pidgin again...AIM buddies are still duplicated.[[BR]]
 13) Out of fear for my buddy list, I restore the backed-up blist.xml[[BR]]
 14) The MSN buddy that went to "other contacts" for some reason still
 appears in "other contacts", but everything else is back to normal under
 the OLD group name.

 This is REALLY broken...
