You are right that you cannot unmount the home directory when you are logged into the system.
I'll refrase the steps:
- change the mount point of the home-directory to (for example) /differenthome (as root in the /etc/fstab and/or /etc/mnttab)
- remove the old mount point of the home-directory (rm /home)
- create the new mount point (mkdir /differenthome)
- create a symlink (ln -s /differenthome /home)
- logout and login again
- start empathy, add accounts
- logout and login again
- start empathy, the accounts are gone
