Comment(by chckens):

 This issue has been irritating me for a while, but today I think I spotted
 a way to reliably trigger it:
 {{{
 1. Start pidgin, and enable two IM accounts (accounts A and B)
 2. enable "show offline buddies"
 3. right click an offline buddy from account A and "show when offline"
 4. disable "show offline buddies"
 5. ensure there is at least one online buddy from account B in the same
 group as that visible offline buddy (drag one in if necessary)
 6. disable account B (Accounts->"account B"->disable)
 7. enable account B (Accounts->Enable Account->"account B"
 }}}
 For me (Pidgin 2.5.2 on Ubuntu 8.10, account A being MSN and B XMPP), this
 always makes the visible offline buddy from account A disappear, just
 before the online buddy in the same group on account B appears. It's easy
 to imagine how this situation could be encountered during Pidgin startup
 too whilst connecting to multiple accounts.

 Makes me wonder, is anyone using Pidgin with only one account and still
 seeing this issue?
