Comment(by cgoudie):

 If you're looking at this bug today (November 11th 2010) You may want to
 look at this page: http://www.diarizing.com/pidgin-cannot-connect-to-msn-
 the-certificate-chain-presented-is-invalid/

 ----- excerpt -----

 The certificate for omega.contacts.msn.com could not be validated. The
 certificate chain presented is invalid.

 If you have an error when trying to connect to MSN messenger with your
 pidgin today, this is the easy and quick way to fix the problem: just
 delete the contacts.msn.com SSL certificate.

 rm ~.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/contacts.msn.com

 This way, pidgin will download again the SSL certificate and everything
 will be working again.

 ----- excerpt -----

 I found that I needed to delete *.msn.com in that directory to connect.
