Pigeon is a weird card. I think there are boards where it is optimal for both players to never do anything if Pigeon is in the kingdom (think Wall with no trashing). That seems... problematic, to say the least.

Agreed. Even in a one-card kingdom with Pigeon as the only Kingdom card, it's at best marginally useful to buy any card (e.g. Silver) first, as the Nest forces you to gain Pigeons, which are at worst a self-gaining Copper/dead card (when not played) and at best (when colliding in pairs) half-silvers. And your opponent can then buy cards from the pile without penalty, only a half-turn later.
