This does not only affect Ubuntu, Fedora (F16) is also affected, so I think
it's a problem with Empathy or Telepathy.
It's not always the "nickname" of the vcard:
I have contacts without a vcard, then it's sometimes the username of the JID,
sometimes the whole JID.
Some contacts remain at my chosen alias, some others not. Some have the
nickname field filled out with the nickname, some with the JID. Others have
also filled out the "Full Name" field in the vcard, which also kind of effects
this I believe.
But: if a contact gets renamed automatically, the result is always the
same. If a contact is renamed to his JID, he will always get renamed to
this, never to his nickname or something else (until he changes his
vcard maybe).
I will try to analyze this problem a bit more next week, maybe with some
test accounts.
