A workaround seems to be:
1. install package pidgin
2. start pidgin
result: empathy status radio buttons are enabled again and can be used again

I could reproduce it performing the steps mentioned above:

Reproduce:
1. Add messaging accounts to empathy
2. select status "available"
3. select status "logged out"

that gives me disabled status radio buttons and is reproducable.
