Empathy settings return to default after personalization

Binary package hint: empathy

After spending some time last night grouping everyone on my contacts list in Empathy, I logged on this morning to find a bizarre mix of people I had moved to other groups being regrouped in their original grouping and some, but not all, remaining in their new group, while others were listed in 2 or more groups.

Is this still an issue with the recent upgrades to empathy. You may have to enable your -proposed repository to get the most recent empathy updates.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!
