Since I'm quite annoyed by this bug, I digged a bit into pidgin and managed to workaround (or fix??) it:
1. Add libgnutls-dev as build dependency
2. Compile with --enable-nss=no --enable-gnutls=yes
I noticed there was once #422988 stating GNUTLS is not recommended by
upstream, but years have passed and it seems to me that things have
changed.
You'll find attached the patch that fixes the bug for me.
