Comment (by rmaryan):

 This bug is even worse that I expected. If you happened to use "Last Said"
 feature it might destroy your buddy list.

 In my case, lines like the following were recorded to my blist.xml:

 <setting name="lastsaid" type="string">&#x4;x4;=&#x4;x4;C (There was an
 error receiving this message.... [cut]</setting>

 This caused inability of Pidgin to load buddy list. Fortunately Pidgin
 saves the original buddy list in file blist.xml~. I fixed this by removing
 such lines from blist.xml.
