In my case, neither of us tried to hide and neither changed anything during the
time we were chatting. The offline message popped up without warning in the
middle of a chat and disappeared the same way. Yet we were still able to chat
without interruption. We are both using MSN Messenger 7.5

I sense a big fat bug! ;-/
