Comment 21 for bug 1071345

This bug (and it really cannot be called a feature) is still present in 13.4 and makes Empathy rather useless (I see 9 contacts where Pidgin would show 17 in the same space).

Side note: This becomes even more urgent since the alternative Pidgin suffers from another Ubuntu change (dropping of the notification whitelist), which makes it impossible to show notifications on new messages properly.
