As far as I can remember, there is a setting in Paypal (not Moodle) which says whether you want to accept paymets without approving them. If this is not set then the paymnet_status become pending. The e-mail you are getting seems to confirm this (that mail, I believe, comes from ipn.php).

Did you ever get this problem resolved? I'm having the exact same issue...I get a PayPal error with the message that the payment is pending and the pending reason is unilateral.
I think something changed in PayPal's processing code. I used the code at https://www.paypaltech.com/SG2/scriptparse.php to insert into my ipn.php - and it worked:
THIS:
$header = '';
$header = "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);
Replaced this:
$header = '';
$header .= "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$paypaladdr = empty($CFG->usepaypalsandbox) ? 'www.paypal.com' : 'www.sandbox.paypal.com';
$fp = fsockopen ($paypaladdr, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);

Thanks for the information Michael.
Your code uses a secure socket layer (ssl). Is this a new requirement for IPN?

The current ipn.php code in CVS and the download for 1.9.6+ still works for me with live PayPal (the sandbox is possibly/probably a different matter) and does not require SSL or HTTP 1.1 i.e....
$header = '';
$header .= "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
