 Adium, though. (I'm writing an Adium blog post about this problem.)

 The problem, as determined by rob-to86, is this, which appears in your log
 (I'm not going to bother fixing the munging):

 The issue is apparently limited only to MSNP15. The official clients fall
 back to older protocol versions, which is why they mostly continue to
 work.
