Before I saw Elias's comment, I was going to ask if this is still
possible in the official MSN client. However, with Elias's comment, I'm
all-but-positive I know what is happening:

In MSN, the notification server handles status and sets up referrals for
new conversations. The switchboard servers actually manage the
conversations. If you open a conversation, you'll be able to continue
talking on it even if the notification server goes down, but you can't
open a new one. This is the same thing that's happening here. The reason
that it only works for 1 minute is that the official client times out
conversations in 1 minute. That's why we had to remove the "XYZ has
closed the conversation window." notices.

I'm rejecting this as an invalid bug report. If you can confirm that
it's possible to do what you've described in the official MSN client (or
really, any other client, I suppose), then we can probably mark this
confirmed.
