Did a little more research and empathy accesses Yahoo messenger through telepathy-haze, which is a front-end for libpurple from the pidgin messenger project. The lack of video support through that is a known point of discussion with the developers, so I am going to recommend this bug be set to wish list. Thanks again for your bug report, if you find you are having problems with video chat in GTalk I would open a new bug on that, as video chat should work for Google Talk (XMPP).
