After some more trying I managed to find a way to reproduce the issue.
It's quite easy actually.

- Open Empathy
- Click on "Edit - Accounts"
- Close the Accounts dialog

After this it is not possible to open the Accounts dialog again.

A work-around is killing the "empathy-accounts" process using the
"System Monitor". After killed you can access the dialog again, but just
one time again.

Title:
  Unable to access Accounts preferences

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Quite often I'm unable to access the Accounts preferences. If I click
  on "Edit - Accounts" no window will show up, nor do I get an error.

  The file ~/.xsession-errors will contain the following errors for each
  attempt:

  GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer
  GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
  GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in cast to `GtkWindow'
  Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_present_with_time: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

  I can't reproduce it 100%, but it usually starts to occur when a
  connection error occurred for one of the accounts and this has been
  reported in the contact list accordingly.
