There is the same issue with Empathy and MSN in Ubuntu 9.10.

This is a major issue, since MSN is one of the largest (I think the largest) IM network, and Empathy is the default client. I think this can be a bad first impression for new Ubuntu users.

Needs to be fixed now, or the default IM client should be changed to another client, like Pidgin.

I found this solution:

that is,

"ok try this remove telepathy-butterfly an you should just have telepathy-haze installed try connecting with that".

and it just works!

There must be a conflict between the two libraries. I think this can be provided as a fix in Ubuntu updates soon.
