I was testing ICQ today with a view to fixing bug 25157, and found that this didn't work very well, too.

I think it's to do with the way that ICQ contacts magically pop up on your (purple) buddy list (in a buddy list group group named _("Not In List"). An interesting existential conundrum!) if you start talking to them, which Haze shows up as them being on 'subscribe', even though they're not.

There's a right-click menu item on the contact in Pidgin to re-request authorization. Might have to hook up to that. Sigh.
