Comment (by outrider):

 After some more fiddling about (thanks for the pointers, deryni) it seems
 that something about my account is broken in a way that Pidgin can't cope
 with. Using a new config dir with the same account exhibits the same
 behaviour, while creating a new throwaway account works even on the
 current config.
