New description:

 Below is the log I took and others on the forum suggested filing a bug
 report because that is what it looked like to them.

 Basically, when using bonjour in pidgin clients show up and can chat fine.
 If you create a group and move a user to a group it works fine.  When
 either client goes offline and comes back online, the client that has the
 opposing bonjour user within a group fails to realize the client is back
 online.  The log shows that it picks up something about the client coming
 back, but doesn't finish the proper procedure.  Please let me know if this
 is indeed a bug.  If it is a limitation I need to start looking for
 another option, since I need to have a grouping feature for bonjour.

 Thanks




 Once Bonjour contacts are added to groups, they don't work properly next
 time either client is restarted.  From that point user remains offline.



 Me Online logging
 Buddy Offline

 Starts Pidgin on buddy

 Log me:
 {{{
 (18:44:32) bonjour: Received new record for 'tom at CMMIT1' on iface 2
