O.P. Animated GIF in display picture?
Is it possible, via an Addon or Plugin, to display an animated GIF in MSN's Display Picture?

No again on that, Reasons
1) They could have a heavy file size and people with slow internet connections or Dial-up will have to wait a lot of time for the dp to load and also will eat a lot of bandwidth for them causing their internet to slow down.
2) This could be used in a wrong way too. Like people making annoying animations as their dp.

they aren't animated GIFs, but just like Winks, signed flash animations.

It is always possible, but the chances are extremely small to none-existent.

And if it was done, it will be extremely limited (eg: see emoticons). Don't forget that display pictures are automatically downloaded by your contact's Messenger. This can produce heavy use of bandwidth and server bandwidth. Emoticons are not loaded automatically by all your contacts, only by the ones you write the emoticon too. That's a big difference.

You can make them, but they will not be allowed because they aren't signed.

Signing can only be done by buying a license from Microsoft and the license is not sold to just anybody.
