Comment (by beret):

 I must remark that the latter is a bug in QIP 2005, not in Pidgin. Here is
 a packet dump of a similar message from QIP 2005:

 QIP has a hard-coded conversion from CP1251 – you can see UTF-16 code
 points in the Cyrillic range, although the original message contained only
 characters from the range U+0020 through U+017F.
