No, that's not bizarre at all. I don't know who admins that server and what it's running. I've heard multiple reports of "A sees B, B doesn't see A" on that server. The bugs in the shared roster are more readily exposed in public jabber servers. You shouldn't need a server for two machines: if the machines don't see each other using link local presence (with no jabber server set) then it's a Fedora problem. If you really want to use a server, pick a different one from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Community_Jabber_Servers and try again. If possible, rather run 0.84.0* and use jabber.sugarlabs.org which uses the new gadget component for presence. (* Due to be released today...)
