New description:

 When sending an outgoing direct IM which contains UTF-8, the receiver ends
 up receiving a blank message.

 On Pidgin 2.5.5 (as well as a recent copy of 2.6.0mtn libpurple via Adium)
 sending a message containing UTF-8 reveals the following debug log:
 {{{
 (14:14:01) oscar: Sending direct IM with flags 1
 (14:14:01) oscar: Conversion from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 failed
     (Invalid byte sequence in conversion input), falling back to unicode.
 (14:14:01) oscar: Outgoing ODC frame to fuark with
 type=0x0001,flags=0x0000, payload length=54
 (14:14:01) oscar: Outgoing ODC frame to fuark with type=0x0001,
 flags=0x0002, payload length=0
 }}}

 The receiver of the message sees a blank message, without any of the text.
 No error messages are echod or displayed.

 I was able to duplicate this with rekkanoryo in a Pidgin <-> Pidgin Direct
 IM connection.
