It would be an interesting idea, but I suspect it would be confusing to non-pidgin users, and wouldn't really be much less confusing because the other devices/protocols would still receive a "You have a message pending" notification which could be trivially cleared, so the best that would (likely) happen is that the recipient would try to pick up the message elsewhere and be told it was already handled.
Now this implementation could be useful for sending to multiple users in an on-call arrangement, but, I suspect it would be confusing for typical non-technical end users who aren't themselves familiar with the feature in pidgin. With that being said, what you have described is basically what Facebook Messenger implemented internally. But they control the service and the primary endpoints, so they can clear notifications and otherwise make a useful UX.
