Correction: this seems to be a Unity bug - similar to how you don't get proper focus in Firefox if you use the keyboard to change workspaces instead of choosing the program from the launcher. So, to reproduce you have to open Empathy and a conversation window, go back to another workspace (eg to check your email) and then return. Closing the Contact List and then using the Chat/Email indicator icon in the panel to reopen it gets things working again.
