Comment (by deryni):

 Currently, on protocols for which there is native slash command support
 (only IRC, XMPP, and SILC at the moment) pidgin does not send unknown
 slash commands through, it does however send them through on other
 protocols (though I believe there is a 'bug' at the moment which causes
 pidgin to throw an error message for any valid command on any protocol
 even if the protocol of the conversation in question does not have that
 command, which gets in the way of this a bit).

 This was done to attempt to get the 'correct' behaviour for as many people
 as possible in as many situations as possible without opening up more
 inadvertant command sending then necessary. I have been considering adding
 a second 'send message' keybinding which will never trigger a command, but
 have yet to decide if I think that is worth it. (I'd also consider one
 that sent unknown commands but I'm not sure that is as easily doable.)
