Comment (by QuLogic):

 It appears that not only has Microsoft changed intermediate certificates
 (before the old ones even are even close to expiring, no less), they also
 changed the root certificate that signs the chain.

 I have attached [attachment:Baltimore_CyberTrust_Root.pem the missing
 Baltimore CyberTrust Root certificate] that should verify the chain. '''If
 you trust me''', then you can copy it to `/usr/share/purple/ca-certs` on
 Linux or `C:\Program Files\Pidgin\ca-certs` on Windows (it may differ a
 bit if you installed somewhere else).

 If you don't trust me, you can get this certificate out of Firefox:
 Edit->Preferences->Advanced tab->Encryption tab->View
 Certificates->Authorities tab. Scroll down to `Baltimore CyberTrust Root`
 (it's classified as a "Builtin Object Token"), then Export it and put it
 in the directory indicated above. It is likely that Chrome or Internet
 Explorer also ship this root certificate, but I do not know how to get it
 out of them.
