It looks like Empathy uses the Gnome keyring for storing passwords, so at least they are encrypted when saved (unlike Pidgin). I agree that it would be good to not require password saving. But at least the passwords should not be readable by anyone else even with admin or physical access to the computer they are saved on, unless that person has your login password to the machine (or whatever other password you're using for Gnome keyring).
