If kopete is compiled with wlm and msn support, there is no MSN support. Libmsn has been installed correctly. This is the error: Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.

I observed the same behaviour. After running kbuildsycoca4 as my user everything worked again. You should only use wlm though, and you will probably need to setup your account again because of the name change.
Yup only wlm should be used. It is stated in the useflag descriptions. So closing as worksforme
I upgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 using USE="msn -wlm" at first, then kopete suddenly did not show my MSN contacts any more. Then I re-emerged kopete with USE="msn wlm" and re-added my MSN account. The result was, that my meta-contacts in Kopete were disconnected from the addresses on my MSN account. That is - I've lost the MSN addresses of most of my contacts. I suggest those USE flags be joined under a single "msn" use flag. Please reopen, change severity to critical (data loss) and change the summary accordingly.
