I used the good old method to track this bug:
 1. start with an empty profile
    $ LANG= pidgin --config /tmp/.purple_empty
    Result: OK
 2. Then create a jabber account and restart Pidgin
    $ LANG= pidgin --config /tmp/.purple_empty
    Result: OK
 3. copy the "crash" profile and try to start with it
    $ cp -a ~/.purple/ /tmp/.purple_debug
    $ LANG= pidgin --config /tmp/.purple_debug
    Result: core dumped
 4. Remove every file or folder, one by one and try to start
    until it stops crashing

No magic behind, but I cannot explain the reason.
I would like to know what is behind it.
