New description:

 As far as I know, aliases could be removed by removing the alias string
 entirely.
 This still works for account types other than MSN messenger.
 I've verified it does not cause a crash when using google talk.

 The debug log shows no signs of the crash.
 I will attach the pidgin.RPT file

 To be clear.
 I have created a new, empty profile to test this situation, no plugins are
 enabled.
