For reference, here's the original request in GNOME's Bugzilla to
*always* show Favorites:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592595

I dislike this behavior too, but it kinda makes sense I guess, since if
you don't want to see offline Favorites you could always just create a
group of your own called "Starred" or something.

Title:
  Favorite contacts always appear even when offline

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Invalid
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  In a freshly upgraded Natty, the favorite contacts always appear in
  the list, even if they are offline. In Maverick, they were hidden when
  offline, just like the other contacts. I don't see why they are always
  displayed, maybe it's useful in some cases, but on our Jabber network,
  it's not.

  The expected behavior would be :

  -to hide them also
  -or to give the option to make them always visible
