I've had this issue as well using 3.3.2 in Oneiric. It happens every time Gwibber refreshes with an update. Clicking on "Messages" icon causes the count to clear, but as with martincasco, I don't understand the difference in the "Home" and "Messages" views.

The normal behaviour must be that when we focus gwibber that number should be 0, should be gone; but it doesn't. Actually if I have select the Home icon in Gwibber and focus it, the number indicator doesn't go, I have to click on the message icon and then the number goes. If I am in the message icon, have to click on the home icon and the number goes. BTW, don't understand the difference between home icon and messages icon, both shows user same thing. Sorry, don't know the right names, so I attached a png.
