I can confirm this bug.

Thank for your bug report, some questions though:
- is pidgin locked on your launcher?
- how do you try to reopen it?
- can you reopen it from the messaging menu?

If the fix removes the feature, that the chat window is raised with one click (by clicking on the pidgin icon in the panel) I won't have reported this bug ;-)
