It seems that the Empathy plugin is at fault, or at least behaves differently to all the other account plugins, as a single plugin (EmpathyAccountPlugin) is used as the source for every account plugin provided by Empathy. This can be seen in the Makefile.am (look at the lib<provider>_la_SOURCES variables):

http://git.gnome.org/browse/empathy/tree/ubuntu-online-accounts/cc-plugins/Makefile.am

This means that each plugin has the same ap_module_get_object_type() method, and so the types are registered twice when more than one is used in a single run of the control center panel, which cannot succeed with the current plugin loader. Each provider plugin having a different GType seems like a reasonable assumption, and that it what the plugins in online-accounts-account-plugins do, for example:
