 Setup:

 Chat-43 and joyride-2228 on an XO, and a Mac as a 2nd platform running
 iChat over Bonjour/zero-conf. Both connected to an AP, with the XOs jabber
 server setting set to something un-resolvable (so salute is used).

 Observations:

 1) XO does not display the Mac in neighborhood (Mac running bonjour iChat
 used to show up as an XO icon in earlier releases). Not a Chat-43 bug but
 just mention for completeness.

 2) XO user name shows up on the Mac as an available Bonjour buddy

 3) Initiating a text chat and sending a first message from the Mac
 correctly triggers the XO chat notification, Chat can be started and
 displays the first message

 4) Additional messages can now be sent from the Mac and correctly appear
 in the XO Chat window.

 5) Typing replies in XO Chat do not show up back on the Mac (initially...)

 6) On closing the Mac iChat chat window, a new chat session will open with
 the missing replies from the XO

 7) Jump back to step 5 (Mac can send to XO, but XO messages only show up
 if you close the current session on the Mac)

 Once you close Chat on the XO, it is no longer possible to trigger the
 Chat notification by sending text from the Mac iChat. Restarting Sugar
 allows it to work again (once).

 No errors noted in the log but I've attached a session just incase (I note
 that only the XO typed text is logged so you can only see half the
 conversation, perhaps Chat could log received messages as well?).
