BB messengers strange contacts list

I upgraded to the 4.5 OS from MTS. When I opened BBM it said that it noticed I had transitioned to a new device and it needed to send out requests to all contacts or all of them would be deleted. I figured I'd have the requests sent out again just in case. The odd thing is this, there were 4 contacts in my list before the update, and now i only see one. After selecting yes to send out the requests it shows JasonHDD as pending PIN update confirmation(1). Above that is:

Contacts (0/3)
-none-

Where did my other contacts go? Do i need to delete BBM and reinstall it and just add everyone all over again to fix it? I know previously (4.3 OS) I had an issue of not being able to remove a pending request when I accidentally added one by email instead of by PIN.

^that means that you have 3 pending.

There should be a Pending tab too that is not expanded

I just checked again and all appears well. I now have the contacts in the list and the number before and after the / match. I was able to delete the duplicate pending i accidentally created before. So it looks like I'm good to go to add others or have others add me.

Mine just started doing that today. I upgraded to 4.5 a few months ago and my berry froze up so I had to pull the battery and the same thing as the other user happened. So the only way they get them moved from pending update request is by sending them a message. Why is my berry doing this after like 3-4 weeks and I've had to pull the battery numerous times today? Out of the blue....

mine updated to 4.5 w/o it doing that
i even changed phones and i dont think that it did that
maybe this is an 8330 issue
as far as i know upgrading my OS and even changing devices was seamless

Mine was seemless for like 3-4 weeks. So I am trying to think of what I could have installed which may have had something to do with it.

I am having the same problem on my 8830 with 4.5.0.101. It is extremely irritating. I'd love to know how to make this stop happening.
