Okay, I have figured it all out:
AIM, at some point or another, dropped "busy" as a status from the
protocol. I used to use busy every once in a while a few years ago, and
it was fine. However, I went into a windows machine, downloaded the
latest official version of AIM, and noticed that only three statuses are
supported:
1) Available
2) Away, and:
3) Invisible.
So! That explains why "Busy" did not work with the applet.
XMPP does not support Invisible. I did not know about that, I thought it
did.
The reason that it flips out so much in the videos is because I combined
the XMPP and Oscar protocols together. This does not play nicely with
the applet, which can only express one setting.
I'm very sorry that this bug has continued to exist for so long. Thank
you so much, Mr. Bacher, for continuing to try and help. I will mark
this as invalid.
However, I have one final question: Would it be worth the time to create
a wishlist bug report that would make the indicator-me applet check to
see which statuses are supported and then grey them out/hide them
accordingly? It seems like it would be a tricky thing to implement, but
if it's not unreasonable I would certainly like to see this implemented
to prevent further confusion.
