I checked the upstream bug again and it seems this actually wasn't the
bug I was having in Precise since it got fixed in Empathy 3.3 and
Precise uses 3.4. So this bug report is obsolete and I am closing it as
Fix Released since it is fixed in Precise. If you are still having
issues you're probably experiencing a different bug. Maybe take a look
at Bug #1069531 or file a new one.
** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu)

Title:
Empathy does not support Google Application- Specific Passwords
Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
Invalid
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: empathy
Recently, Google introduced 2-Step Authentication[1] to make their
users accounts more secure. This works by requesting that the user
enter a randomly generated 6 digit number when they log in from an
unknown computer for the first time. Since not every application
supports this, they also introduced 'Application Specific Passwords'
which is a randomly generated 16 character alpha-numeric one-time only
password that it entered when connecting an application to a Google
account for the first time.
Since I have enabled 2-Step Authentication on my account, I am no
longer able to sign into Google Talk using Empathy.
