For comparison, here's what telepathy-butterfly *currently* does, which we now
think was a mistake. From Alice's point of view:

* there is a Channel (call it C1), with TargetHandleType = NONE,
  containing Alice and Bob; it represents the switchboard S2 (and previously,
  it represented S1)
* Chris appears in C1
* The anti-use-case from Comment #1 can easily happen

and from Bob's point of view:

* there is a Channel C3 with TargetHandleType = NONE, containing Alice and
  Bob; it represents the switchboard S2 (and previously,
  it represented S1)
* Bob uses the Group interface to invite Chris to that Channel

As well as provoking the anti-use-case mentioned, this makes the following
things hard:

* UIs want to have the same code for XMPP and MSN
* UIs may want to log 1-1 chats but not multi-user chats
* UIs want to be able to choose a sane title for the window!
