Thanks for the screencast, very helpful in understanding what you are
seeing.  Thank you for taking the time to make it.

I think there are a few issues interacting here leading to what you are
seeing:

1) You are only pausing the player, not stopping it.  I think the only
way rhythmbox can get into the stopped state is to arrive at the end of
your play queue.

2) When the player is paused, musictracker (a) generates a personal
status message according to the "paused" format configured, (b)
continues to set the "now playing" status with the paused track
information

3) Pidgin displays the personal status message under the contact, but
when the personal status message is empty, pidgin now displays the "now
playing" status (if the contact has one) [this is a relatively recent
change, although I'm not sure exactly what version it happened in]

If you experiment with turning off and on musictracker's "Don't change
status message if protocol has 'now listening'" setting or set a status
message on that contact, and hover the mouse over the contact in the
paused state and look at the tooltip, it might make it a bit clearer
what is going on

2(b) is probably a bug, I'll have a think about how to fix that :-)
