You can use the username or email id to login but the chat client should use the uid for getting any data (chat, for example) from facebook. In empathy, you can see that the previous conversations dialog shows the users by uid, not username or name. It's a bug with empathy but at least it helps understanding it ;) So you have to check if the ruby gem uses uid for sending and fetching chat messages.
