on 11.10 i have same issue, only my google chat messages are permanently
lost:

My laptop is connected on both wired and wireless connections:
1. Disconnect wired connection, wireless connection is working, empathy does not reconnect and all my send messages are lost, not received even after manual disconnect/reconnect.
2. Connect back wired connection - empathy reconnects after 1 minute and messaging is working normally.

It seeems that one case is handled (connect of wired connection), while
another case is not (disconnect of wired connection).

$ lsb_release -rd

$ apt-cache policy empathy

What I expect to happen:
On wired connection disconnect, empathy should try to reconnect to wireless connection
What happens instead:
Empathy stays "connected", but actually no google chat messages are being sent

Title:
  Empathy does not receive google chat messages until I disconnect and
  reconnect

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  I use Empathy to connect to google chat (I use text messages only, not
  voice or video) to communicate with my colleagues.  Often but not
  always, after I have disconnected and reconnected (for instance
  because I took my laptop to a conference room), I find that a number
  of previously unreceived messages suddenly appear.  Sometimes these
  messages are days late.  Sometimes they appear as messages that are
  part of the current conversation, and sometimes they appear as
  messages that are part of a previous conversation (greyed out).

  What I expect to happen:
  Colleague using the gmail web interface to google chat types a text message to me and sends it.  I receive that message in empathy via my google talk account within moments.
  What happens instead:
  Colleague using the gmail web interface to google chat types a text message to me and sends it.  Nothing happens that is apparent to me.  At some later time, I disconnect empathy from my google talk account (via any method: shutdown of the system, disconnecting the system from the network, closing empathy, setting status to "Offline"), and then reconnect it to my google talk account.  Then, seconds to days after the message was sent, I receive that message in empathy via my google talk account.
