According to upstream this bug was fixed in 2.5.1: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6821 Strange that you experience this problem in 2.5.1. May be wrong version was set in upstream's trac. Do you still have this problem? If yes, you need to rebuild gtk/glib with debugging symbols too and attach new backtrace. Currently I consider this bug is fixed.
