Comment(by deryni):

 What exactly about this do you think we haven't "take[n] notice" of? This
 is a server change, the only "solution" pidgin has is to set the friendly
 name at each login. Which up until now was apparently not necessary and we
 don't do it. At the moment we aren't certain this is a change that is
 going to stay as it strikes us as a monumentally stupid idea. If it looks
 like it is staying I imagine such a fix will be put in place (possibly for
 the next release).

 There is no official way for a plugin to do this, but unofficial ways can
 be done.
