There's also http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14965 which is quite a problem and therefore getting constant complaints over Twitter and many duplicate tickets. That, and 3 other tickets would be closed with an updated Libpurple, leaving a few (mainly isolated) tickets and Facebook left for the 1.4.2 milestone.
So yeah, I couldn't agree more with getting a beta out assuming Facebook is going to take a while, could always just push it to 1.4.3 until it gets done. Doesn't seem very logical blocking a release of some annoying issues if no one is actively working on Facebook at the moment. Not much harm in adding FBXMPP during the beta period, as well.
