Comment (by kriknav):

 This issue affects many protocols, like AIM which seems to only support
 Online, Offline, and Away.  What I think is the best solution is to
 arrange the Statuses in a hierarchical arrangement, that way when a status
 is set and a protocol doesn't support it, it will set the status to the
 highest level that it supports.

 So if the hierarchy is Offline, Online, Away, Ext. Away, DND, and
 Invisible, if I select invisible and the protocol only supports as high as
 Away, it will set my away for that protocol.  This will also require
 research and functions to check if a particular status is supported by a
 protocol.

 Hope this helps.
