Comment(by mbateman):

 Never mind. I see now that this does seem to be based on the priority.
 Whichever one is the priority shows as the grouped buddy name. This
 appears to be how it is inteded to work, but is not what I expected. I
 really like the idea of the Meta contact from Trillian where the meta
 contact name is separate from any of the individual accounts. They way you
 have it, the name that shows on the grouped buddy changes depending on
 which account is active. It would be nice to say the buddy group is called
 Bob and it would stay that way instead of changing from "Bob Smith" to
 "Smith, Bob" to "bsmith at bigfoot.com" which then moves it around in the
 list.
