Comment (by mmcnamee):

 Just for reference, this bug means anyone using a Russian mobile phone or
 PC, cannot send ANY messages, even if they are using the full western
 character set for their messages. My friend sent a "hi", and even that
 caused this error message.

 Downgrading by doing the following does work:

 Open c:\Program Files\Pidgin and rename "pidgin.exe" to
 pidgin-2.4.0-broken.exe", then re-install 2.3.1 from the installer,
 downgrading GTK when prompted. This fixed my problems.

 2.4.0 is BETA quality at best, disappointing as some of the new features
 look nice! :-)
