It's definitely on the "todo" list.  But cycles are scarce.

This almost always is caused by someone being logged in more than once.
But the specific bug report you refer to doesn't seem to single out
gaim, so I can't tell if it's a libotr issue, a gaim-otr issue, or an
adium issue.  If you can reliably replicate the problem, a network dump
of the messages sent and received would be a big help.

Not our call.  You'd have to ask the gaim people.
