New description:

 When disabling an IRC account, through a command such as:
 {{{
 purple_account_set_enabled(account, "Adium", NO);
 }}}
 The account does not disconnect itself, unlike all other protocols.
 Immediately issuing a
 {{{
 purple_account_disconnect(account);
 }}}
 will cause the account to properly disconnect. My best-guess is that
 gc->wants_to_die is set to TRUE, so it early-returns away from the
 disconnect later on in the {{{purple_account_set_enabled}}}.

Comment(by zacw):

 And, to further pollute the timeline, didn't notice I had editing
 permission on the ticket; too used to Adium's trac. Fixing.
