In Pidgin 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu8 I was able to confirm that closing the Buddie List window does not shut down Pidgin even when the system tray icon preference is set to "never." The indicator-applet (envelope) icon remains, pidgin is still running, and the FUSA shows the user as available. Left-clicking the indicator applet lets you bring back the Buddy List. I was not able to confirm the "Quit" option on the buddy list as being greyed-out, however.
Explicitly selecting Quit from either a right-click of the system try icon (when enabled) or from the Buddy List menu are the only ways to exit Pidgin. I think the expected behavior would be for Pidgin to quit when the Buddy List window is closed if the system tray icon option is set to 'never.' It only makes sense for the program to remain running if the buddy list window is closed is if either of the system tray options are enabled ('mail notification' and 'always on').
