I only have the one GTalk account in Empathy (I'm using Pidgin for my own accounts, was using Empathy for a work-specific account), and encountered the bug as well. Did not even have empathy running befroe, this bug came up as soon as I started the application (and have not run the application since 2-3 reboots ago)

After suspend/resuming my laptop, the google talk account refuses to reconnect, and emparthy says it requires authorization, if I click the button next to requires authorzation it just brings me to UOA and nothing happens. toggling the gtalk account on and off doesn't help, it just requires authorization again. only way to get it back is to reboot.
