I had this issue until I actually visited the "username" page. For example, follow these steps.
- Set up Facebook account in Empathy with username "UserName"
- Try to connect with Empathy (Authentication Failed)
- Visit http://facebook.com/UserName
- Try to connect with Empathy (Success!)
If this workaround can be confirmed and duplicated I believe this would be a facebook issue.
