Does that mean that the messaging menu is intended only for access when
the user actively wants to see if there is anything in his aggregated
message queue (IM, mail, etc.)? (That is, a PULL method of gaining
information) Or is it meant as a central place for the user to be
notified about such messages if and when they arrive? (The PUSH method)

If it is the latter, it would be nice if the user could configure the
obviousness level of the applet (static or blinking for example).

Last week Empathy actually blinked an icon in the notification area in
the way Pidgin does. Something in the libindicate/Empathy chain must
have broken causing Empathy to fall back on the notification area method
(I have no idea why it would do so otherwise). That behaviour stopped
after a reboot, so it probably was caused by packages being updated.
