Comment(by ilgaspa):

 I think that the correct behaviour should be:
 * If away status is set to simply "Away", Pidgin should switch to away
 keeping current status message, like for example MSN does
 * If away status is set to a saved status, Pidgin should switch do away
 (or other specied away status) and used the saved status status message.
 If the slected saved status has an empty status message, the empty status
 message overrides the currently set status for the away time

 I find the current pidgin behaviour (wich overrides my current status with
 "I'm not here right now" regardless of the status message set) plain
 wrong... There's no way to tell it to simple switch to away leaving the
 status message untouched at the moment. We can simulate this behaviour by
 saving an away status with the same message as the available status
 message we use, but it's a workaround, not a solution.

 This seems a trivial issue to solve, noone wish to take care of this bug?
