I have made a rudimentary patch to the maverick-updates branch which
comments out the connection-state queries and disregards changes in the
connection state. With this patch I can now use Gwibber with a wvdial
connection.

The downside is that there does not seem to be any error checking in the
code, so if you try to send when you really don't have a connection you
won't get any error indication and your message will be lost. I have not
tried to address that shortcoming.
