It's a fair cop, though; you shouldn't have seen that message.  I've
checked in a fix for the next version.  Here's the ChangeLog entry:

        * otr-plugin.c (process_receiving_im): If libotr tells us to
        ignore this received message (because it's an internal protocol
        message), it's not enough just to return 1 from this function,
        since other plugins that catch receiving-im-msg may later return
        0, and gaim only checks the return value from the last such
        plugin.  So we additionally set the message to NULL.

That's unexpected behaviour from gaim, if you ask me, but it was easy
enough to work around.  gaim-otr 2.0.2 will not display the internal
protocol messages just because you've got another plugin running.

Thanks for the detailed bug report!
