add my account.

I can't reproduce this issue here.
I just created a chat account for Google Talk on the same version as
you. And no, it doesn't need the Google OAuth mechanism strictly. I used
one of my passoword from the Google GMail accounts.

If you haven't any please create a dedicated password for Google Talk in
your Google Account settings.
