Comment(by Kufat):

 I'm also experiencing this issue.  I investigated a bit, and the problem
 is that pidgin will update the buddy's status if it's ''changed'', but
 won't update if the status is ''cleared''.  In other words, this occurs if
 anybody on one's buddy list sets a status and then clears it; it's just
 most obvious if that person is also the person using Pidgin (and viewing
 their own status.)

 If a youtube video from a screen recorder would be of use in clarifying
 this, please let me know (on AIM, my SN is Kufat, or my username at my
 username dot net) and I'll record one.
