This still happens with nautilus-sendto 0.9.

The bug could be on gaim side as it just uses the gaim function gaim_get_blist and then filters it with GAIM_BLIST_NODE_IS_BUDDY and GAIM_BUDDY_IS_ONLINE

Oh sorry I was reading a very old version of the source code, it now handles the various protocols explicitely and is totally different, forgot about previous comment :/

Patch adding aim and icq contacts

Actually I can't find an up to date page telling for which protocols gaim can handle file transfers...
But anyway I would rewrite the code like : 

...
               }else if (strcmp(prt,"prpl-jabber")==0){
                       icon = jabber;
               }else if (strcmp(prt,"prpl-oscar")==0){
                       icon = aim;
               }else if (strcmp(prt,"prpl-yahoo")==0){
                       icon = yahoo;
...
               gtk_list_store_append (store, iter);
               gtk_list_store_set (store, iter, 0, 
                                   icon, 1, alias_e->str, -1);
               contact_list = g_list_append (contact_list, contact_info);
               g_string_free(alias_e, TRUE);
...

The patch in #4 must be applied to pidgin.c in the same dir too.

The prpl-aim bit was already committed.
