It's entirely possible it could be that, especially since it only seemed to be
happening to newly added contacts.

To confuse things worse, that new contact J of mine, *while still showing 
up in Pidgin as unavailable*, did get through to me, and I could chat with 
her.  Though I could not originate to her, and I think she still saw me as 
offline.

I wouldn't object to switching to some other protocol/server, but I have
Metcalfe's Law problems...
