Comment (by cyisfor):

 From what I can eyeball, the SSL code does cache the certificate by
 fingerprint, and shouldn't reverify it when you reconnect. I think the
 problem is that the algorithm for getting the fingerprint doesn't produce
 the same fingerprint. There isn't exactly a "SSL_get_fingerprint" function
 in NSS, and I think the one pidgin does itself is hashing some mutable
 data like connect timestamps or something.
