 Well, he showed up as offline after deleting and re-adding the first time.
 Then, after deleting and re-adding him the second time, he would show up
 as offline. So this seems rather coincidence. Please remember that in
 order to be able to see someone online in your MSN, you don't have to be
 added to his/her list. The only prerequisite is that the other contact is
 not blocking you to see him online.

 This is really weird. See, after I removed that folder, everything was
 synchronized with Pidgin since Pidgin always fetches the status from the
 servers and WLM pushed the clean buddylist without blocking information
 etc to the servers.

 Yes, might be. But, as I said before, I have all these weird issue even
 when using (both me and my buddy) the original client WLM 2009.
