You don't want to call the purple_*_new functions -- libpurple takes 
care of creating all the necessary objects itself. You should either use 
something like the following (a simplified version of something that 
works for me) or the SavedStatus API (which is what Pidgin uses).

This code is a simplified version of something that works for me:

PurpleStatusType *type = 
purple_account_get_status_type_with_primitive(account, PURPLE_STATUS_AWAY);
if (purple_status_type_get_attr(type, "message")) {
    purple_account_set_status(account, purple_status_type_get_id(type), 
TRUE, "message", "Food time. Be back by 13:30.", NULL);
} else {
    purple_account_set_status(account, purple_status_type_get_id(type), 
TRUE, NULL);
}
