This was caused by our reimplementation of repr in msn.Message leaving some unicode cha.

The problem seems to persist on my machine as well. At the same time,
however, Empathy will now load all of my IM accounts: before it would
not load my MSN protocol. The error still comes up, but doesn't seem
to cause any service-affecting troubles.
