What's happening here is the user is having a 1-1 chat with contact A, then contact A is inviting contact B to the chat. The 1-1 channel gets the on_conversation_user_joined callback as it should, then tries to create a new conference MUC channel for the three to chat in.

The 1-1 chat should pass its object path as the contents of InitialChannels so the conference channel will take off where the 1-1 channel started, but the conference channel is complaining that it can't find the Channel object in the connection to steal its switchboard.

This is odd. I just tried to replicate it by having contacts A and B using pidgin and the user using butterfly but couldn't?

Could you ask the launchpad bug submitter to provide logs of it happening again please? Very odd.

Do you know how to trigger the issue? Could you get the butterfly log in the empathy debug dialog when getting the issue?
