There is a bug open at the gnome bugzilla about it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585914 (Notification icon must be clicked before user can see new messages) It looks like some persuasion is needed to get even an option for pop-unders of new chats. It certainly will be a blocker for myself to switch to empathy, when I've to check the small indicator applet icon regularly to see if there are some new messages or not.
