I did finally get a chance to test it today.  I didn't find any advantages for 
AIM (the protocol I tested) for KDE telepathy.  In addition to the previously 
discussed lack of encryption support (not happening for Precise) and lack of 
message indicator integration (hopefully happening), I did find another issue:

This is a big deal for me personally and it would be nice if someone could 
figure it out.  I checked and the actions work just fine from Kopete on the same 
system, so I don't think it's KDE 4.8 or some more general issue.
