Heh, interestingly I currently see pretty much exactly the opposite: avatars
for most other contacts in a room show up, but not my own.

In my quick testing, I found that Pidgin does not include an avatar hash in the
<presence/> it sends to MUCs, so there's no way we're gonna get their avatars.
Gabble could conceivably be sneaky and, if a MUC contact has no avatar token
but we know their real JID and we do have a token for that JID, copy that token
over to the MUC contact.

I got avatars for all the other contacts in rooms that I tested—though I think
they were mostly cached, so more testing is necessary with an empty avatar
cache and freshly-started Empathy. I'm prepared to believe that Gabble
mishandles the replies to vCard queries for contacts in MUCs. That said:
ContactInfo works fine in MUCs, so who knows! It's been exactly three years
since this bug was filed, soooo … a few things have changed.
