Just tested jabber.sugarlabs.org here and with 0.86.1 under an F11  
sugar-jhbuild I'm currently seeing two other buddy icons just as you  
describe (same colour as me, and Analyse lists them with Pubkey=? and  
their colour entries empty) the buddy names were "rafael", and  
"Gustavo".

My initial gut reaction is that the jabber server is playing up, I  
tried to connect with an XO running 0.84 for comparison but I couldn't  
coax it into connecting at all. I'm also not aware of any presence  
service compatibility breaks in 0.86. One other (slight) possibility  
to consider is perhaps some folks are logged into the server with a  
non-Sugar jabber client, or perhaps a modified version of Sugar. I'll  
try and do some more tests tomorrow.

Anyone else seeing this? I've been working in Salut for a while now  
(~5 local Sugar sessions collaborating) and haven't ever seen this  
particular issue there.
