You could override CBPurpleAccount's - (BOOL)closeChat:(AIChat*)chat
in the IRC account subclass and check [adium isQuitting], silently  
ignoring the request if YES and calling super's implementation if NO.

Adium itself keeps track of the accounts uniquely... the breakdown  
occurs at the level of either libpurple itself or our interactions  
with libpurple in
CBPurpleAccount* accountLookup(PurpleAccount *acct)
and
PurpleAccount* accountLookupFromAdiumAccount(CBPurpleAccount  
*adiumAccount)
in SLPurpleCocoaAdapter.
