(Get the code!)
Okay, I have figured it all out:
AIM, at some point or another, dropped "busy" as a status from the protocol. I used to use busy every once in a while a few years ago, and it was fine. However, I went into a windows machine, downloaded the latest official version of AIM, and noticed that only three statuses are supported:
1) Available
2) Away, and:
3) Invisible.
So! That explains why "Busy" did not work with the applet.
XMPP does not support Invisible. I did not know about that, I thought it did.
The reason that it flips out so much in the videos is because I combined the XMPP and Oscar protocols together. This does not play nicely with the applet, which can only express one setting.
I'm very sorry that this bug has continued to exist for so long. Thank you so much, Mr. Bacher, for continuing to try and help. I will mark this as invalid.
However, I have one final question: Would it be worth the time to create a wishlist bug report that would make the indicator-me applet check to see which statuses are supported and then grey them out/hide them accordingly? It seems like it would be a tricky thing to implement, but if it's not unreasonable I would certainly like to see this implemented to prevent further confusion.
