If I understand licenses correctly, GPL code can be used with any GPL-ompatible license. And GNU lists BSD (edit. 2: BSD 2-clause is listed as FreeBSD) as GPL-compatible. But I'm not a lawyer and if you have any sources that explain this, then I'll change license.
Edit. Pidgin itself says that plugin license should be GPL-compliant, not exactly GPL.

According to GNU compatible means that you can combine code released under the other license with code released under the GNU GPL in one larger program [...] provided the combination is released under the same GNU GPL version.

And BSD allows that. It's actually MORE open than GNU/GPL.
Combination in this case is Pidgin bundled with plugin - and BSD licensed plugin can be freely merged into GPL code.

I think that this FAQ entry describes situation best. Plugin is an additional module and 2-clause BSD is compliant as more lax so it can be used there.

Sorry for wasting your time then

No problem, I'm never sure about those. THat's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of GPL - license cooperation.
