Congratulation for that workaround. However, you don't have to fill status suffix field, filling only one item is enough and in your case it must be auto-responder message, and if you wish, you can filter out everyone from its special filter to prevent people receive that, for instance, one space auto-reply when they message you.
But there is a way better method. This script:
StatusKey It has two functions to set a status: either with mouse click on desired status's button after viewing its special nice small "status selector" pop-up window which pops-up at the cursor's position when you press on Alt+S on your keyboard -or- more easily with shortcut keys which you can define for all real statuses, even for signing out. Yeah, use it, at least until resetting the perso status option will be avaliable in real Plus!. I have a great hope for this.

The other problem about personalized status is that when we are on such a status, let's say "away" for example. If there is a status suffix, and if we disconnect while this status is activated, our next connection, on this computer or on another, will show that suffix even on the online status (which is set as we connect).
Would it be possible to add a function that aumatically disable any personalized status when we disconnect to avoid that?
Disabling personalized status at the moment of disconnecting would not help. Actually, personalized statuses are already removed from messenger when it disconnects, unless you use the great
Remember Status script
. Still, even if it is remembered, your name will have already been updated on the server and to turn it back to the previous one, you must signin again and remove personalized status (if it is still active) from your messenger or the tag from your name and you must wait for about half of a minute in order the old name to be saved at the server again. Samely, Messenger Plus! can delay the signing out when user is signing out while there is a persoanlized status. I mean, when you want to sign-out, Messenger Plus! can automatically disable personalized status and wait for example for 30 seconds and then sign you out, but I admit this would be very stupid and annoying and there is no chance this to be implemented in Plus!. Though, there is a way simpler method to do this. You can disable the Messenger option, Tools>General: "Use the same display picture and personal message everywhere I sign-in." This will also disable updating your display name at the server and it will do the trick for you. But remember that you must disable it while any personalized status tag is not added to your name and you'll lose the roaming dps and psms feature as well with this option disabled.
Offtopic: CookieRevised, don't get me wrong on this please, because I know you say "this script will not remember personalized statuses and any script can't remember a temporary personalized status" But you may haven't noticed that this script helps Messenger Plus! to keep a personalized status on memory until Messenger exits because this script prevents Messenger to turn to the default signin status in case of a disconnection, which is really great, you may consider modifying the explanation about the personalized status on the script's page on the database 
(of course if you didn't notice this hidden feature before)
How a long post!
Edit: Btw, what is this doing in bug reports? I will report it to be moved to General Talk forum.
