I've seen this with Yahoo as well. Someone will sign in "invisible",
and msg me, and every time I message THEM, I get a "That user is
offline, do you still want to send the message for when they return?"
message.

Yahoo and AOL both solve this in their "stock" clients with little
messages that appear in the IM window "User has signed out", "User
has signed back in", "user has become idle", etc.
