Comment(by starkwong):

 I know exactly what happened (and 100% reproducible), hope developers can
 catch this bug.

 In simple words, the libpurple MSN plugin terminates the http connection
 while the other side didn't, so when the other side reuse the connection
 to send message, it fails to deliver the message because the libpurple
 side has closed it.

 To reproduce, I used pidgin and Miranda IM (which has notificaton popup
 for establish and termination of MSN connections):
 1. Login both accounts
 2. Open debug window of pidgin
 3. Send a message from Miranda IM, pidgin received it successfully
 4. Wait for the debug window shows logs like "(18:42:59) msn: destroy
 httpconn (05CA97F8)"
 5. Send a message again from Miranda IM, this time pidgin didn't receive
 it
 6. Wait for Miranda IM popups "Leave conversation with xxx"
 7. Send a message again from Miranda IM, pidgin can then receive the
 message again (Then always loops to step 4)

 Hope this information helps
