well, I can't remember exactly what happens, but I'd guess that many things
don't really work as expected.  Because the server thinks that your nickname is
different than what telepathy-idle things it is.  So e.g. when you get an
incoming private message, idle checks the 'target' name against what it thinks
your nick is, and since they don't match, it assumes that it's not for you. 
There are probably various other things that fail as well, mostly commands that
involve the user's nick.  Sorry I can't be of more help.  It's been a while
since I worked on this ;)
