Comment(by sillern):

 Why it works for contacts with old pictures seems to boil down to the
 conditional on

 > libpurple/protocols/msn/slp.c @ 249
 {{{
 const char *url = msn_object_get_url1(obj);
 if (url) {
 }}}

 The protocol is successfully fetching a contact picture whenever the url
 is set to a non-`NULL` value and a valid url.
 When it's `NULL`, it (I guess) uses a new method of fetching contact
 pictures, through `msn_slplink_request_object` with some callbacks, where
 only the `end_user_display` seem to be triggered.

 Sadly, I don't have enough knowledge of how the msn-protocol works to be
 able to write a patch, but let me know if you need someone to test/verify.
