OK, I ran into this problem overnight and happened to be running Mugshot
in a debugger ... it's actually a different hash table lookup - it's in:

    if (g_hash_table_lookup(id->icon_requests, icon_hash) != NULL)
        return; /* we have a request pending already */

And the problem is that icon_hash is NULL. 

The existing buddy looks like:
{resource_id = 0x9b567b0 "online-desktop:/o/pidgin/buddy/aim.m<...>", 
  protocol = 0x9b568a8 "aim", name = 0x9b568c8 "m<....>", alias = 0x0, 
  is_online = 1, status = 0x9b569e0 "Available", webdav_url = 0x0, 
  icon_hash = 0x9bfb218 "c6435469345f5a1974d435837d4a2d249c57f69e", 
  icon_data_url = 0x9cc3178 "data:image/jpg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRg..."}

So the problem in particular is the transition from icon_hash != NULL
to icon_hash == NULL.

I doubt it's actually someone removing their AIM avatar/photo; more
likely there was a communication breakdown somewhere upstream of this
code or a bug in the Pidgin code.

Would:

    /* has_icon_hash() allows icon==NULL. It checks whether                                                                         
     * the buddy we have stored has a matching hash, including                                                                      
     * matching hash of NULL                                                                                                        
     */
    if (!hippo_dbus_im_has_icon_hash(resource_id, icon)) {
+         if (icon != NULL)
+             make_icon_request(id, icon, resource_id);
-         make_icon_request(id, icon, resource_id);
    } else {
        g_debug("It looks like we already have icon %s", icon ? icon : "(none)");
    }

Be a good short term fix? ... just leave the old icon
in place until we get another notification.
