Comment(by Cetra):

 Well,

 I've added a workaround in the source so this doesn't happen because it's
 starting to annoy me:

 get the latest source, run ./configure.

 in /libpurple/protocols/msn/notification.c go to line 623 which will be
 this:

                 if (!strcmp(user->passport, "messenger at microsoft.com"))
                         continue;

 edit that, and put a sanity check around it to prevent crashing:

                 if(user->passport != NULL) {
                 if (!strcmp(user->passport, "messenger at microsoft.com"))
                         continue;
                 }

 save it then run make, then sudo make install
