If you send a private message via "/msg" to someone on IRC, it doesn't show this message in the respective conversation tab (hence it doesn't open the conversation tab if you start chatting using "/msg" (first response opens the tab, showing the response as first message).

I think this is the related bug report/enhancement request on the pidgin/libpurple trac:

If we want exactly this behaviour, there will be no difference from the QUERY command anymore if I can tell that correctly.
Possible solution is to map /MSG to /QUERY.

This is fixed in IRC JavaScript. (/query and /msg call the same function, which opens the conversation and sends the message.)

This is fixed by bug 953944 (bio 507).
