Comment:

 Are these buddies that are added to your list by a corporate server?

 Those groups are forced upon clients by the server and there's no way to
 override that (there's an argument to be made that Pidgin ''should''
 notice that the move fails on the server and move the buddy back locally,
 although that's pretty terrible behavior also).

 What you can do is go to Buddies->Add a Buddy and add the buddy into
 another group on the buddy list; the buddy will then be in two groups and
 ''should'' probably remain after a disconnect/connect to the server.
