I'm not sure: I think it's correct that it shows as some kind of error, since it needs to show that the conversation is not encrypted anymore. Granted, a better option could be something like auto-terminating the encrypted session and mentionin it in the chat window, unless it is judged that it can open a possibility for attack (say, a social engineering one based on sending an unencrypted message into a conversation to shift it out of encryption). But I wouldn't like to argue about how nonencrypted messages received during an encrypted session should be presented: the problem here is that when they arrive you get no notification, and you cannot tell that a new message has arrived unless you're staring into the chat window. I'm afraid I don't know the protocol between pidgin-otr and pidgin to know if it is a UI problem on pidgin side, or if pidgin-otr should send those to pidgin in a different way.
