The information received for the Contact List Cleanup is inaccurate. Changes to the Microsoft Protocol block contacts when they are first added. This is likely to cut down on potential viruses and spam being spread. We don't have any control over this unfortunately and are unsure of why Microsoft actually went this route.

To expand on it; Microsoft no longer sends the data that Messenger Plus! was expecting. In other words the reverse list that Plus! used to parse is now sent incorrectly by the Microsoft Servers. Nothing we can do about it unless they fix it. If they choose not to fix it then you will see that feature removed come the next version. (The 'has you' column will be removed).
