I've been watching them all morning, and they're definitely associated with avatars/buddy images. They come with error lines in the openfire debug logs like "MSN: Got avatar retrieval result: PROTOCOL_ERROR".
When I looked a few months ago, there wasn't any further info from the Krakken folks (they make the legacy network gateway plugin for openfire). Now though we have this good writeup, confirming that it is indeed:
1) something flakey going on with the avatar protocol with MSN and
2) that the MSN api has changed a lot since they last maintained it.

I'm more and more convinced that using Krakken for our IM network connectivity on legacy networks isn't going to keep pace and we'd be better off switching to libpurple.
