It is even worse that it is also resetting the status message. If I'm logged in with another client (Gtalk on Android phone), the status gets reset on both and the message is lost on both and I may not even notice it...

My status is set to the generic "Available". I create a custom status message for "Available", and it works well. Then I completely quit Empathy. A while later I re-start Empathy, and my status has been reset back to the generic "Available". The same is true if I set my Empathy status to the generic "Away". If I quit and re-start Empathy, my status is reset to the generic "Available". The latter may be a "feature" (i.e. a specific design decision), but the former situation definitely seems like a bug. What I expect to happen: My custom status message is preserved, even if I quit Empathy. This is especially true if I created a "Saved Preset" custom message.
