I read that as a hint to the user as to the most likely user error that would result in the diagnostic, rather than a definitive cause. Most error messages assume "probable user error" (as IBM mainframe Messages and Codes used to say), so if it were the BIND error of the same name, the presumption would still be that the user had put in the wrong domain part and probably got not found for the SRV record.
Possibly the real problem here is that the message is intended to be interpreted by the client and presented to the user in a localised and user friendly format, and Pidgin isn't doing this. I suspect there may be layering issues, in that the Pidgin HCI wants to deal with an abstract IM service, which has opaque user identifiers, but when things go wrong, the structure of the identifier matters.
