I also have this problem. About one week ago, contacts were listed properly in Empathy 2.30.3 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), but some days ago, I can't see any Google contact in Empathy.
I've alsa configured a People Nearby account, and I can see my co- workers listed in Empathy's main window, but my Google Talk account's contacts are missing. I seems that Google has changed something in their google talk's protocol that avoids Empathy to list contacts properly. Pidgin lists contacts properly, and Empathy has not been updated in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS since September 2010.

It does not show anything with 'Show offline contacts'. Restarting empathy is the only solution that works (sometimes even that doesn't work).
