This is a nasty bug. I'll try to do my best to describe it.
When "Hide new IM conversations" is set to Always (as it should be to fully use Ubuntu notification system) i experience random crashes while closing a chat dialog opened via the indicator applet. I have to double hit the close button in order to close this dialog because the first time the dialog is cleaned of all its GTK widgets and the second time is closed and Pidgin crashes.
I also noted that sometimes more than one chat dialog is opened (a normal one and another one with this behavior) so not all chats are tabbed inside the same chat window. This bug never shows up if the chat dialog (with another person) is alredy open when receiving a message that starts a new conversation.
I think this bug is related with how pidgin and libnotify-pidgin operate together.
