 However, that's not my nick at all:

 thufir <at> dur:~$
 thufir <at> dur:~$ head .purple/accounts.xml
 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

 <account version='1.0'>
         <account>
                 <protocol>prpl-irc</protocol>
                 <name>[[thufir]] <at> irc.freenode.net</name>
                 <password>*&^$##% <at> #$^# <at> </password>
                 <alias>thufir</alias>
                 <statuses>
                         <status type='available' name='Available'
 active='true'>
 thufir <at> dur:~$

 pidgin is sending the wrong data to freenode nickserv, different from
 what's in the config files.

 according to LotR on irc this is due to freenode being weird.  When
 there's a connection problem then pidgin appends a 1 to the nick and tries
 again.

 I differ, if I configure with a particular nick, that's the one I want to
 use...

 seems an odd behaviour which I would like to disable.  every x seconds
 pidgin should try to register the correct nick until success or x number
 of attempts...

 the problem is that you cannot then join channels which require
 registration.
