Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
I have the Twitter submission JID in the "Buddies" group (it doesn't fit in any of the normal ones) but this group doesn't contain any other interesting buddies. Since the Twitter JID's presence is always "offline" I set it to "Show while offline" (otherwise I have to show offline buddies, hunt for it, send the message and then hide them again, in which time I might as well have used the website). With "Show offline buddies" off, the "Buddies" group still has the Twitter JID in it, so is plainly not empty. However, it still gets hidden when I turn "Show empty groups" off. It should not be considered empty with the Twitter JID in it.

I have the same problem.
I have a buddy which is set to "show when offline". (Thank you so much for that feature!!!)
But if no other buddy in that group is online, I will not see that buddy.
If I enable "show empty groups" the group and the buddy is visible.
