Comment:

 I think a more accurate way to describe the behavior is that the pointer
 returned will always reflect the most recent run.

 This behavior is pretty normal and there are a number of functions in the
 libpurple API that behave in this way.

 Using a pattern like the following, you can accomplish whatever you need
 to do:
 {{{
     char *val1 = g_strdup(purple_url_encode(in1));
     char *val2 = purple_url_encode(in2);

     do_something(val1, val2);
     g_free(val1);
 }}}
