If you have not chatted with a Facebook contact via Pidgin before, it
will appear as -XXXXXXXXXX@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in your chat list, without
profile picture or online status. If the person comes online and you
write something, it seems like personal information is exchanged, after
which online status, profile picture, and real name (instead of
*@chat.facebook.com) appear.

At least that's what's happening for me right now. See attachment for a
screenshot this process.
