This bug sound like an upstream bug and I'll take a "wild" guess and say the 
fix is probably the same one I did in Pidgin a few years ago:
http://shlomil.blogspot.com/2007/02/patch-to-fix-some-bidi-text-issues-in.html

RL=1 should be passed for RTL messages in MSN protocol.
Wireshark can be used to confirm what flag value is used by Empathy.

Solution: The first letter of the message should be detected for
direction and set the flag accordingly (AKA, the Gnome way).
