Comment (by trisweb):

 Confirm this behavior in Pidgin 2.3.1 and 2.4 in Windows XP.

 Using an animated smiley theme ported from Skype.

 Even if a single smiley is in the chat window, indeterminately, lines will
 not appear, either ones I have sent or sometimes (but less often) received
 while the window is focused.

 I can confirm it still happens when rpolach's steps above are followed,
 but I can also say for sure it happens for new conversations where
 scrollbars are not yet needed and there is space to fill in the window.

 Once scrolling starts this seems not to happen anymore (I'm guessing as
 it's re-rendered with each message due to the scroll).

 Disabling animated smilies (using another theme) is an acceptable
 workaround for now, but this should still be fixed. Thanks :)
