In the expected output, I meant to say:

with "SMS from Firstname Lastname:" highlighted in bold.

Are there stars (*) at the beginning and end where normally the bold text would 
be? Like 

* SMS from Firstname Lastname: * Message here

No, it does not.

Actually, on second glance it looks like it may be a Pidgin bug.

That seems to be likely, because we always send non-XHTML-IM formatted text 
with the "poor mans" formatting, where the star (*) starts a new bold text 
section. So will see either one of this.

If you hear Pidgin, maybe it's related to issue 91:

You could try an XMPP client without so harsh XMTML-IM restrictions. I 
recommend Gajim.
