Yes, I confirm this bug.

If I start a message with :) (for example), Pidgin will show the emoticon equivalent to >:)

It's seems that Pidgin add > before any emoticon.

Found a fix on this bug. I'm not a C programmer, but using my python knowdlege I succeded to fix this bug.

On line 833 in webkit.c (revision 70) add these lines:
  case '>':
   g_string_append(str, "> ");
   break;

Compile and reinstall the plugin: now it should work as expected.

This fix may cause other problems (as soon it seems to work perfectly) because, I repeat, I'm not a C programmer.

It seems that Launchpad altered my code... See the correct code at http://pastebin.com/f686bb233
