It should but it doesn't..
This is my primary annoyance with Jabber. It happens to me all the time 
that I see people online/offline when they aren't. The roster and the 
'real' contactlist are out of sync a large part of the time. Especially 
when my connection to jabber.org gets dropped these problems start to 
appear. Of course I can notice that I only see Jabber people online so 
in that case I either explicitly logoff from the MSN transport and then 
logon again. When I do this I get the complete list of online users 
again. If I do nothing I only get the updates which means that I only 
see people online that came online after I reconnected to jabber.org

IMO the MSN transport should receive status information from jabber.org 
telling it that my connection dropped. Apparently that doesn't happen.
