As per the GNOME bug, I confirm that switching from the "Ubuntu" theme to the "Clean" theme fixes this for me. I realise that this isn't really my business, but given that Ubuntu has limited development resources available, it it really the most efficient use of those resources to maintain their own Empathy theme? If Ubuntu wants to do work on Empathy I could think of better ways to improve the user experience.

I am using empathy for IRC only, connected to four channels on two servers, though even disabling all accounts does not change this. The empathy- chat process is very consistently at 9% CPU, with spikes at 10% or higher from time to time. I have tested this on mobile broadband, wifi and ethernet.
