This might be also a telepathy-indicator bug. The triangle is always on while telepathy-indicator is running. If it's not - the messaging menu never shows triangle at the "Chat" item. Even if Empathy is launched and running. Setting "StartupNotify=true" to empathy .desktop launcher doesn't change anything.
