Yes, I tested this and you are indeed right. But I was sure that there is a
confusion, since I got visible at times I was sure I did not mean to.

After some testing, I realised that if the networkmanager reports that the
network is down and empathy disconnects (e.g., when computer is going to
sleep), later when the connection comes up (e.g., at resume) and empathy
connects again, empathy sets all accounts to busy, i.e., it forgets that it
should first try to set the status to invisible for accounts.
