+1. Perhaps changing the wording throughout from "has presence
information" to "has received presence information" would suffice.

I actually discovered this bug shortly before it came up here. I
noticed I was receiving PEP events I hadn't asked for from my ejabberd
contacts on my mobile - not nice, so it looks like I'm going to have
to come up with a server-side filter to drop/bounce these
notifications.
