Note sure if this needs to be a separate bug, but what I found was that if I 
have a contact with a mobile #, and they are "invisible", they can send 
messages to Pidgin and I receive them, but any messages I send go to the mobile 
#.  Interestingly, the other machine DOES see the "xxx is typing a message", 
but the message never appears - goes to the mobile.
Steps to reproduce:
 1) Set up two different MSN accounts - one for Pidgin, one for Windoze dead 
messenger
 2) Configure the MSN Live messenger account with a mobile # to receive text 
pages and "allow users on my contact list to send messages" or however you 
enable that.
 3) Using two computers (or running Windoze within a VM), Login using Windoze 
and set your status to "appear offline".  Log in to Pidgin, too. 
 4) From Windoze, send a message to Pidgin.  Pidgin gets it.
 5) From Pidgin, send a message to Windows.  The Windoze user will see "xxx is 
typing a message", but will never get the message - it goes to the cell phone.

As of Jan. 28, 2009, this is using Pidgin 2.5.2 in Intrepid.  Have not
yet ventured to Jaunty.
