#12829: Smileys with asterisk don't show because they are damaged in gtalk

Component:  XMPP                         |   Version:  2.7.4 
 Keywords:  smileys asterisk xmpp gtalk  |  
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
 When receiving smileys such as "*BYE*" or "*THUMBS UP*" , they aren't
 received properly - always on gmail/gtalk jabber account.
 In Pidgin 2.7.4. I see them as bold text "BYE*" or "THUMBS UP*" (without
 first asterisk).
 In previous version of Pidgin I saw them as bold texts "BYE" or "THUMBS
 UP" without both asterisks so I suppose it's bug in libpurple rather than
 in jabber server.
 It behaves same for every word or sencence so I wonder if there is some
 functionality in XMPP to make bold text in ** or if there is missing some
 escaping.

 I have tested between jabber.cz and gtalk account and also between 2 gtalk
 accounts to confirm that the bug is present only when receiving message
 from gtalk account.
