Comment:

 What version of Pidgin are you using on each computer?  When grouping the
 buddies on one computer and then starting up Pidgin on another computer,
 the buddies *will not* be grouped; that's expected, as the grouping
 metadata is local-only.

 On the computer where buddies don't stay grouped until you rename an XMPP
 buddy, what does the contents of blist.xml look like before you group the
 buddies, after you group the buddies (when they "don't stay grouped"), and
 after they're become ungrouped again?  (After modifying the group
 membership, give Pidgin 5 seconds to sync the contents of the buddy list
 to disk).

 In particular, after grouping the buddies, I'm interested in the XML
 structure leading to each buddy. For properly grouped buddies, it should
 look like this (with a bunch of <setting name='blah'
 type='blah'>value</setting> data removed):
 {{{
         <contact>
                 <buddy account='myAIMaccount' proto='prpl-aim'>
                         <name>buddysname</name>
                 </buddy>
                 <buddy account='mymsnaccount at hotmail.com' proto='prpl-
 msn'>
                         <name>buddy at somedomain.com</name>
                 </buddy>
         </contact>
 }}}
