I can now reproduce this on one of my internet connections, and have worked around it in Wocky. The problem is that _xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com is a CNAME for chat.facebook.com, rather than an SRV record.

See http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/wjt/wocky.git;a=commitdiff;h=refs/heads/work-around-chat.facebook.com for the patch!

 % host -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com
_xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com is an alias for chat.facebook.com.
 % host -v -t SRV _xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com
Trying "_xmpp-client._tcp.chat.facebook.com"
