I think I've figured this out. Previously, I did not have the Indicator Applet on my Panel (it was not added on upgrade Lucid). When I add the Indicator Applet to the Panel, the redundant Empathy icon disappears and is replaced by the Messaging Menu, as in the attached. (The Indicator Applet also takes over the Rhythmbox icon and leaves all the "old-style" application icons in the Notification Area.)
