Comment(by Digeratus):

 Changing groups is not handled correctly. This bug may or may not have
 other triggers as well.

 Steps to reproduce as of ver. 2.4.1:

  1. Connect as an MSN user.
  2. Add a new contact to some group.
  3. Move that contact to a different group.
  4. Disconnect.
  5. Reconnect.
  6. Observe buddy synchronization error message. Choosing "yes" locally
 deletes and re-adds the contact, nuking the alias. Choosing "no" locally
 deletes the contact. In both cases, the contact remains unchanged on the
 server list.
  8. If "yes", or if contact is manually re-added, go to step 4.

 Oddly, the contact's group changes seem to be correctly reflected in the
 server list, at least as far as I could tell. Adding or moving the contact
 to the original group does not correct the issue.

 I was only able to solve the problem by logging into mail.live.com and
 manually deleting the contact there, after first deleting the contact in
 Pidgin.
