The reason for the continuing problems are now known. There is still a bug in 
libmsn which affects people who did not fill out their birthyear and Country 
during registration on msn/ wlm. 
Information can be found here:

is-required/

The devs of libmsn are aware of this. I don't know if a fix is on the
way, but after it is fixed in the lib, I believe the wlm-plugin in
pidgin and kopete need to be aware of this too.

A temporary work around is: Set you birthyear and Country, by just
logging through the webpage.
