Ive noticed that sometimes the display names will randomly change back and forth even though the contact isnt changing it.

i have verified a contact as showing one display name in WLM while the same contact has a different display name in MSN 7.5, verified on another computer on someone elses MSN Messenger.

The display name shown in WLM is usually an old display name, while in Messenger 7.5 shows a newer one. I know its new cause i asked the contact.

I have experienced the exact same problem, maybe this is a bug.

It's not a bug, it's the cache kicking in (or not kicking in and/or being updated). Though there might be a bug in there, the thing you notice is the cache and that is not a bug.
