Comment (by anothertrad):

 I have this problem on Adium which also uses libpurple and I knew I would
 find some pidgin discussion about it. So maybe is not fair to say it's a
 problem located at the pidgin (or adium) client but on libpurple (unless
 it's expected to throw this error. but what is the event? adding a contact
 or the contact is already added, and "adding" in this case means just
 showing on the buddy list?)
 I also removed all unnamed contacts in my live account, didnt work.
