--- Comment #3 from Simon McVittie <simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk> ---
Probably NOTOURBUG, then; Gabble is doing what it's told, but what it was told
by the server is wrong.

This could be because either

1. the server is storing names wrong; or
2. when you previously set your friend's name, your IM client (either
  Gabble + Empathy, or another client like Pidgin if you use one) stored
  it incorrectly; or
3. your friend's name was copied from what they set as their alias, and
  when they set that, it was stored incorrectly

To try to rule out (2): if you use Empathy to rename the contact to Lars Silvén
(which I assume is what it was meant to be), does it get stored correctly after
that? What if you do that, then sign out and back in?

(Again, the relevant bits of the XMPP stream would be useful information.)
