This sounds like a Windows Skinning program is the cause, such as alienguise or windowblinds.

If you use windowblinds, you need to select yahoo! messenger in the per application settings, and disable skinning of it, it may be listed as yahoo! messenger or ypager.

If it's another program, look for similar settings, if they don't exist, you might have to disable the skinning program to use messenger.

We didn't really know what this was for a long time, until two things happened. First, another chatter found some info on the WackyB forums (Savage_Charms) which had a fix, and a user emailed me and told me it was since he installed AlienGUIse, which uses a similar system underneath.

Anyway, glad we can now recommend this solution to people :-)
