First, make sure you run:
$ env GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID="" pidgin --debug
... else, you're testing something entirely different from what the
launcher in the panel does.
I was able to successfully connect to OFTC this way on Tails 0.21.

It's been my experience for a while (possibly years) that *some* of
the OFTC servers block (some or all of) Tor exit nodes. Usually,
asking for a set of new Tor circuits works, generally the first time,
sometimes after a few tries.
In short, I believe there's nothing specific to Tails in this,
and I don't think there's much we can do about it.
Cheers,
