Upstream confirms that this is a quirk in the protocol: "The second bug is a quirk of the protocol. Someone can start chatting to you before the buddy list with their "real name" has downloaded from the server. Since the buddy list is downloaded once a minute, there's a window of opportunity for someone to login, start talking to you, before you've seen them online/seen their 'real name'". Jonathan
