#5079: Single-account multi-login Gtalk contact Away though Available

The following issue has first been reported against Adium 1.2.3 and, after
the much-valued advice of jas8522 on Adium's IRC, is being reported
against Pidgin 2.4.0 as well.
I have a Gtalk contact in my list who uses a single account but logs into
it simultaneously on different computers i.e. with different clients
including Google Talk and the chat widget of Gmail. On most of the
computers the contact in question is Away and on at least one of the
machines the contact is Available.
The problem is that Pidgin/Adium shows the contact as Away (in the contact
list and in the chat window of the contact). At the same time, iChat and
the chat widget of Gmail show the contact in question as Available. The
contact is really available because I'm conversing with him, either in
Pidgin or in Adium, at the time I see him as Away.
Bellow is the "Get info" reported by Pidgin:
Resource: Talk.v10434FCA1DE[[BR]]
Priority: 24[[BR]]
Status: Available[[BR]]
Resource: Talk.v1041126E553[[BR]]
Priority: 24[[BR]]
Status: Away[[BR]]
Resource: gmail.40E2913F[[BR]]
Priority: 0[[BR]]
Status: Away[[BR]]
Here is the information about the contact from Adium taken much earlier
(i.e. in a different day):
Resource: gmail.40DFD772[[BR]]
Priority: 0[[BR]]
Status: Away[[BR]]
Resource: Talk.v104184780B9[[BR]]
Priority: 24[[BR]]
Status: Available[[BR]]
Resource: Talk.v1041126E553[[BR]]
Priority: 24[[BR]]
Status: Away[[BR]]
The gtalk.XXX connection with priority 0 in which the contact is reported
as Away, the contact is indeed away because the uses the chat widget of
Gmail on his Mac OS X machine only and he doesn't use the machine very
often but leaves the chat online.
Is the contact being shown as Away because the connection with priority 0
is Away? I don't have knowledge wrt XMPP, Gtalk, etc. so I'm not stating
that iChat and the chat widget of Gmail implement the relevant protocol
features correctly, it just feels uncomfortable to see the contact as Away
when he (my boss) is Available.
