I can reproduce this bug in Precise: I can't set the status to Available from Offline using the MessagingMenu. Funnily enough, changing the status to Away works, then I can switch to any status. At least there is a workaround. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I am running empathy as a startup application with empathy -h.
