I think I'm seeing the same behavior, so let me try to fill in the
details. I upgraded to Lucid last week and I have empathy
v2.30.1-0ubuntu1 and indicator-me v0.2.6-0ubuntu1. My panel indicator
area looks like the attached: the MeMenu has an icon indicating my
availability on the right-hand side and Empathy has an icon with an
identical appearance on the left-hand side. The icons behave differently
when clicked (bringing up the MeMenu and activating the Empathy window,
respectively), but as status indicators they are redundant.

By default, I would expect the Empathy icon to go away and for the
functionality it exposes to be folded into the MeMenu somehow. I would
also expect there to be a configuration option to turn off the Empathy
notification icon (if I understand correctly, this is required by the
status menu design guidelines:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines).
