It might be worth someone else testing this to make sure it's
reproducible and not some quirk with my systems.

For my test I used two different QQ ids on two different PCs.  One a
Linux machine using Pidgin 2.5.0 + OTR 3.2.0 and the other a Windows
machine using Pidgin 2.5.1 + OTR 3.2.0.  It's worth noting that in
order to get QQ working properly in Pidgin for Windows you need to
uninstall the include gtk+ runtime and use a different version as
recommended in this bug report:

http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6900

You can get a QQ id here:

If anyone wants to test this with me, e-mail me off list.  My QQ id is:
858394729.  I certainly wouldn't recommend using the official QQ
software as it's infested with adware / spyware.
