The attached screen-shot confirms the settings are the same in each app for the same account (Empathy on the left, Pidgin on the right). Setting a proxy on my machine makes no difference, but bear in mind that even if I choose "Direct internet connection", my corporate network will route me through a proxy transparently anyway. I think that's what Empathy can't handle but Pidgin can.
