I helped Roman Jarosz to debug this problem about a year ago. Apparently, the bug only happens with old accounts where many old contacts have been deleted over time and some kind of limit has been reached. IIRC, each time you delete an old contact it leaves some trace on the server, and once you reach a limit (like 200 or so, can't remember exactly) things act strangely. But with the official ICQ client (Windows) and with Licq (Linux), this problem doesn't happen, so Kopete must be doing something strange.

However, in the end it is a low impact bug: Not only it affects a small number of users, it even has workarounds (like retrying to add/delete contacts to/from the invisible list a few times until they stick the way you want them).
