Comment(by darkrain42):

 My reading of the code indicates this should happen when the name of the
 groups the buddies are in isn't valid UTF-8 *and* Pidgin is unable to
 convert the name from your current locale to UTF-8 *and* from ISO-8859-15
 to UTF-8.

 What is the name of the group the buddies are in before?

 And, could you possibly obtain a packet capture of this occurring (the
 login attempt). You'll need to use tcpdump or wireshark (a filter on "port
 5190" should be sufficient) and if you have any questions about the
 process, you can head to #pidgin on irc.freenode.net.

 Once you get the log, ideally Mark would be able to take a look at it, but
 I can certainly try. If you don't want to attach it to a public ticket,
 you can email it to me (my nick -at- pidgin.im); if you do that, please
 reference the ticket number in the email.
