That makes more sense -- considering that they have to patch into 
iChat to disable the code that disables non-Apple drivers, I think 
they intentionally disable themselves whenever the iChat version 
changes until they can be sure that nothing they depend on has 
changed out from under them.

(This prevents them from crashing your machine if there's a change 
that matters)

They don't have the option of testing with beta releases because 
Apple has made changes in this code between the final beta and 
customer ship in the past -- our drivers worked fine for all of the 
betas of iChat AV until they introduced code to disable non-Apple 
drivers in the final release.
