Comment (by arlolra):

 I was able to reproduce some of what was happening:
 https://cl.ly/1P172f0q101P

 In wtf2.png, the conversation starts off with `*******@jabber.ccc.de`. Can
 you open Tor Messenger, find that user in contacts menu, click them, then
 you should see a little down arrow appear. Click that and it should show
 the merged accounts. If what I suspect is happening, these contacts got
 accidentally merged. Right-click (context menu) on `ioerror@xxxxxxxxxxxxx`
 and choose "Detach from contact".

 Please confirm if I'm way off base.

 If it's the case though, we need to either do a much better job of
 handling merged contacts or disable the "feature" altogether.
