Comment:

 Unfortunately I don't have any good idea about what might be going on
 here. My understanding of X event handling is just good enough to get me
 into trouble whenever I try to dig into it too deeply.

 I'm assuming this isn't as simple as scroll events that would cause the
 buddy list view to scroll beyond the top/bottom of the buddy list entries
 are getting grabbed by the wm, is that correct?

 It might be worth trying putting the 'xev' window under pidgin where you
 are scrolling (so that if pidgin weren't there the xev window would be
 focused) and seeing if xev prints anything out (it should be quite a bit
 more sensitive than xterm to any events it happens to get). Though I doubt
 this will show anything of interest. (Make sure to run xev from a
 terminal, it spits output to the terminal it is run from.)
