It is the same Windows Account, but that shouldn't influence the settings at all; It doesn't depend on that...

That is indeed strange and might be a bug...

Correct.

No, what is loaded when you start MSN Messenger (but not signing in) are the preferences of the last logged in user. To find out which preferences this are you need to look at the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\DefaultConfiguration
Thus, these are not the "Nobody" preferences, but the preferences of the email stored in that registry key. Despite the fact that the key is named "DefaultConfiguration" it isn't exactly a default configuration as this will change everytime to the last logged in user. ("LastUser" would have been a better name for it)

As you can see above, there is nothing that takes priority.

Not exactly. The "nobody" preferences are loaded when you sign in with a new email in MSN Messenger which isn't know/stored yet.
