It seems like:
http://pidgin.im/pipermail/commits/2011-May/019293.html
saves the day.
Basically, pidgin will use the account proxy even for proxy connections;
and if there is no account proxy it uses the global proxy (which the Tor
pidgin option thing is).
I also asked in the pidgin dev XMPP room and they confirmed that pidgin
uses the account/global proxy options for connecting to other proxies.
