The "Automatically connect at startup" option is an EMPATHY option, not a SYSTEM option, so this really seems like the functionality is correct. Although, it is confusing wording, but I'm not sure how it could be made better. I was able to make empathy start on login by adding: empathy -h as a startup application. This, combined with checking "Automatically connect at startup" gets the desired results. Perhaps this setup could be made easier for the average user? It seems like it would be a popular option.
