I can confirm this strange behavior. For example:
0. Start without buddy list (close the buddy list if it's opened).
1. Open a terminal (Applications->Accesories->Terminal).
2. Click on Indicator Applet icon and then select Pidgin.
Expected behavior: The buddy list is displayed IN FRONT OF the terminal
window.
Actual behavior: The buddy list is displayed BEHIND the terminal window.
3. Click again on Indicator Applet icon and select Pidgin. Result: the
buddy list is again incorrectly displayed behind the terminal window.
4. Click on the buddy list to bring it to the front.and select Indicator
Applet icon -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy list is correctly hidden.
5. Click again on Indicator Applet icon -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy
list is incorrectly displayed behind the terminal window.
6. Close the buddy list clicking on the X icon in its title bar, and
then click on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy list is
correctly displayed IN FRONT OF the terminal window.
7. Click again on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy list is
correctly hidden.
8. Bring the buddy list back again clicking on Indicator Applet ->
Pidgin. Result: the buddy list is correctly displayed in front of the
terminal window.
9. Click on the terminal window to bring it to the front, and then click
on Indicator Applet -> Pidgin. Result: the buddy list keeps incorrectly
behind the terminal window, instead of get hidden.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
The indicator-applet cannot bring pidgin to the front sometimes
when another program is focused. I have created a capture video to explain it.
First you see that the applet can bring up pidgin fine.
But when I open a new tab in opera and then click the applet the
contact list of pidgin is not opened in the foreground. But you can see
it appear in the bar at the bottom.
