This is reproduceable.
Version: Ubuntu 9.04, Pidgin 2.5.5, Notification Area 2.26.0.
While closing the buddy list the pidgin process is terminated when it should only minimize the notification area.

I cannnot confirm this, using Pidgin 2.6.3 on Ubuntu 9.10. Closing the Buddy List does indeed minimize it and sends Pidgin to the notification area. So at least in Karmic, this is FIXED.
