Add a (currently visible) tag to a contact in Other Contacts. The additional tag is shown with the contact in it, but the contact does not disapper from Other Contacts.

Detach a buddy from a merged contact in Other Contacts. The buddy disappears.

Can't reproduce the first issue. Maybe I got into a strange state after discovering the second issue, which this patch fixes.

Also adds a this._observers check which prevents a shutdown error when quitting when a contact is expanded (removeObserver is called from the buddy binding destructor).

Shouldn't detaching a buddy from a contact trigger a "contact-added" notification from the detachBuddy method, so that we go through the normal code path?

I assume you copied this from the Contact.prototype.removeObserver method, but I don't see why we would need an hasOwnProperty call here. Can't we just do:
if (!this._observers)
?

This seems reasonable; let's try it! :)
