I can recreate this; it seems libpurple should be unescaping the
parameter, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
I guess the thing to do is to file a ticket - if it has a good patch
attached to it, I'll be happy to commit it. :)

The one part that isn't entirely clear to me is whether this should be

be done for everything.
