telepathy-butterfly 0.3.1-0ubuntu1

What I was doing: Only being idly online with Empathy. While typing this, the same error has come up three times. I haven't had it installed for very long, but it didn't do this earlier. Possibly related to someone coming online with a weird name perhaps?

After idling for a few hours, I came back to my desktop and Ubuntus crash reporter had found a crash, though empathy/telepathy seemed to have recovered from it as I was still logged into MSN.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've reproduced this, and the duplicate has an identical stacktrace

Same error running Empathy on Intrepid beta.

Empathy running in the background, crash seemed to coincide with a friend logging on. Friends name contained no weird characters or anything like that.
