I've been subsciber to an icq-devel mailing list for the last while, and they've reported that for old ICQ protocol versions (ie, 5 and under), the servers have been dropping random offline messages. I assume the transport uses server messages, so that's probably where the problem lies. I also assume that the transport is probably version 5.
Apparently version 7 also had this problem, but less so. Also, the official clients tend to use client-client, bypassing any server trouble. >From what I hear, the problem has cleared up now, but I'm not sure if that's the case.
