The first thing that comes to mind for me is to turn off keychain. I guess I am one of the few that don't use it.

You should probably just delete the old keychain from iChat, because it might be corrupted. So the next time around, when it asks you from a password, it might remember it.

Finder, Apps folder, Utilities, Keychain Access, select the iChat Keychain and press delete.
