Comment(by adyroman):

 I just tested this again, with 2 clients on different computers on the
 same LAN, no firewall. Both sides were using Pidgin 2.7.8. The sending
 party never has confirmation that the transfer has successfully completed.
 The progress bar either stops randomly, or goes to 100%, but never reaches
 status "Finished". So although the file is transferred, it's not really
 working "perfectly well" as you're saying. Also, I would argue that file
 transfer is really not a secondary feature - a secondary feature would be
 the animated smileys or the YM games; file transfer is a primary feature,
 along with the ability to send text both ways. After all, that's pretty
 much all Pidgin does for Yahoo now - just send text. I would even argue
 that text formatting is less important than file transfer.

 Thanks for the answer though - at least we know where we stand - the
 current position is "we don't give a flying ****", but somehow packaged in
 nicer words. Too bad there's no alternative, except switch back to
 Windows...
