MSN resurrects removed contacts (due to RL?)

My contact list is a big honking unwieldy mess, with many people who no
longer need to be on it. If I remove them, then next time I sign on
(and they're online), MSN says "[email protected] has added you to their
contact list. They are now on your contact list, in the 'Unknown'
group." Normally this is all well and good, but, if I've removed
someone... I don't know, could we have eb-lite record a residual entry
along the lines of "yes I know this person has added me and I haven't
added them back, but leave it that way" or similar? Otherwise it seems
impossible to remove a contact. Obviously, if such a contact was to
actually message me, I'd want it to apply the current behaviour and add
them. Also, this might apply to other protocols, not just MSN.

If this was fixed recently, sorry. I'm having trouble building a
current core (isn't everyone?)
