As Will says, this seems likely to be a bug in the libpurple Facebook protocol
plugin (which isn't maintained by the Telepathy developers) rather than in
Haze, so I suggest reporting this to the Maemo maintainer of that plugin.

Now that Facebook Chat is also available as a (limited) XMPP/Jabber server,
it's also possible to connect to it as a Jabber account using telepathy-gabble
(as already shipped with the N900), which may well work better for you than the
Haze + libpurple + Facebook-plugin stack:

* On the Facebook website, if you haven't done so already, create a Facebook
username (like www.facebook.com/badger), and log out and back in.
* Add a chat account of type "Jabber".
* If your Facebook page is www.facebook.com/badger, then your JID (username) is
badger at chat.facebook.com. Lower-case works best, apparently.
* The password is your normal Facebook password.

You can chat and see your friends' presence, but you can't change your name,
avatar or friends list, or use more advanced XMPP features like VoIP, through
this XMPP connection (these are limitations of the Facebook server).
