This issue also bothers me. The way Pidgin handles this is much more elegant.
The way Emapthy handles it at the moment forces people to leave a window open for each channel, which clutters the (Unity) launcher with applications that really should be running in the background.
"Idling" is a pretty standard practice on IRC. It seems odd that Empathy leaves a channel just because the window is closed. I imagine the issue is because of the modularity of the Telepathy framework but it's very irritating nonetheless.
