After further investigation, I discovered a work-around.
The problem appears to be the result of an upgrade from a time where
gnome-online-accounts was used in ubuntu. My google account was added
there, and the ghosts of that addition seem to have echoed into 12.04 --
where that package is no longer included by default, it seems.
My workaround:
Install gnome-contacts: sudo apt-get install gnome-contacts
Open gnome contacts: gnome-contacts
In the GUI that opens, select Accounts button, then delete the account
from the resulting menu.
That causes the ghost to vanish in empathy.
You can now safely delete gnome-contacts.
