I'd like to fix this once in for all but I'll need a way to reproduce it first
If you delete them from your contact list (they don't appear in your list, you don't get notifications when they sign in etc) they are not deleted from your account completely, they are still on your (hidden) allow/block list (addresses on these lists may or may not be on your contact list). I'm not sure of what happens if you or they sign out and back in.
Some special messenger clients (I have used one on the web as a Java applet, and used one that's an exe for download, but can't remember the name or location of either) let you sign in, but instead of having chat features they have special list managment features like letting you remove people from your main contact list and allow list also or automatically remove everybody that doesn't have you on their list as well. To get the popup, you can use one of these list managers or use a brand new email address for testing (or try the sign out/in method described by Sunshine).
