Comment(by darkrain42):

 My ''guess'' is that the official client uses a different authentication
 method when going through a SOCKS proxy, but, as I said, that is a guess
 and I also can't find any decent source of information on the protocol.

 At the moment, Pidgin only supports one authentication method.
