Fixed in Git: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/telepathy/telepathy-salut/commit/?id=d1e2397dc684b609ac5f9b78fd4d5b1e2b24c452
Hmm. Didn't mean to post that as-is. This has been fixed/worked around in Gabble and Salut Git, but whether or not tp-glib should be changed back is an open question. On the one hand, it's technically an ABI break; on the other hand, the assertions that Gabble and Salut were making were silly.
This change was backed out from telepathy-glib 0.14.x, and all the CMs were fixed to work with telepathy-glib 0.15.x.
