I will return with what happens with the remerged contacts after my next reboot.
After reboot, the remerged contacts now have two identical Facebook IM fields. They're all offline now, but I guess they'll create yet another independent Facebook contact when they get online? So, merging the Facebookers doesn't seem to work that well...

I merged a bunch of new ones, and remerged a bunch of the reappeared ones. When some of the former remergers gets online, I'll reremerge a couple of them too. Then I'll reboot, and see what happens with the different iterations.

Merging the MySpacers seems to work fine (they don't reappear as independent MySpace contacts, and the MySpace IM fields of the merged contacts keep their "availability dots" (do those dots have a common accepted name?).

I haven't seen any of my 8 MySpace IM friends online since I got it working. In fact, I think I've never seen any of them online in any IM client on any platform ever. Maybe we've got some daring musicians here, with hundreds of active MySpace friends, that can do some MySpace testing?
