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.
 Issuing a
 {{{
 purple_account_disconnect(account);
 }}}
 will cause the account to error:
 {{{
 ** (process:17738): CRITICAL **: purple_account_disconnect: assertion
 `!purple_account_is_disconnected(account)' failed
 }}}
 Since the state doesn't appear to be set at all for its connection.

Comment(by zacw):

 After playing around a bit more, the latter is intrue: disconnecting is
 impossible.
