Chat window opens repeatedly with Pidgin on F11

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Fedora 11, including pidgin-2.5.6-1 and purple-microblog-0.2.1-1
2. Start pidgin and add twitter account
3.

What is the expected output? 
Normally, I start and minimize pidgin. If an IM, including a tweet,
arrives, pidgin opens a chat window displaying the new message. When there
is no new IM or tweet, pidgin stay quiet and minimized.

What do you see instead?
On F11, the twitter chat window opens every few seconds even though there
is no new tweet. If closed, it reopens a few seconds later. If left open,
it start flashing on the task bar after a few second indicating a new
message, even though none has arrived.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Fedora 11
pidgin-2.5.6-1.fc11.i586.rpm
libpurple-2.5.6-1.fc11.i586.rpm
purple-microblog-0.2.1-1.fc11.ir86.rpm

Please provide any additional information below.
This may or may not be significant but the chat widow title in the status
bar includes some numerical codes in brackets each time it appears or
refreshes. This never occurred when I was using pidgin and microblog on
Fedora 10. Often several codes appear sequentially but too fast to see.
Here are a few that recur frequently:
[200] twitter
[272] twitter
[400] twitter
[404] twitter
[600] twitter
[800] twitter
[915] twitter
[974] twitter
[1600] twitter
