This is an XMPP issue, not just googletalk. I am seeing this using jabber between Jaunty's pidgin and empathy on both karmic and lucid.

The upstream bug says (from Will Thompson):
"This was a bug/limitation in Gabble. I fixed it in telepathy-gabble 0.9.3:

• Allow sending chat state to contacts whose capabilities we don't know,
  such as invisible Google Talk users (wjt)

I didn't realise at the time that it was also an issue for visible Google Talk
users: I think they changed the capabilities they report or something.

This fix wasn't backported to 0.8.x."

So the fix should maybe be backported for lucid, or the new version brought in.
