I can confirm it in Ubuntu 12.04 (up-to-date):
apt-cache policy empathy
empathy:
  Installed: 3.4.2.3-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.4.2.3-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.4.2.3-0ubuntu1 0

     3.4.1-0ubuntu1 0

When I highlight text from a past message (either sent or received) Ctrl+C is 
not working. The bug is reproducible in all themes.
Both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V combinations are working in the edit area.
Right-click an selecting Copy does work, but it's a painful process.

Empathy is great, but I find this issue very annoying and a major
usability problem.

Please fix it. Thank you!
