It has been two years and there hasn't been an update on this. Telepathy is in a well working state now but there is no sign of OTR encryption. I love the concept of telepathy but it not having support for OTR is really a showstopper for me and ALL linux users I know personally. OTR can be considered a major feature for people concerned with security, which most linux/BSD/etc. users are. It's sad this bug is just left aside with low priority. I can't program well, so I can't fix this but I really hope somebody will soon. This would make telepathy more awesome than all other messengers. Until then I will have to stick with something else.

There were a few minor things that could be improved (e.g. automatically resizing the contact list), but that is not the topic here. The reason why I won't switch to empathy from pidgin is the missing OTR support (http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ). This is a really important feature because no one should read your messages. There were others with the same idea (links at the bottom). Would be so great if it could support that important encryption standard. Thanks for helping out!
