Haze can't possibly do better than Pidgin here, because they both use the same
library (libpurple), so this is basically NOTOURBUG. From the upstream bug you
linked, it sounds as though this may be a Yahoo protocol limitation.

Telepathy does have a way to represent statuses which can't have a custom
message (for instance "available" on IRC - you can only have a custom message
on IRC if you are "away"). If libpurple gave us enough information to describe
the "busy" status as not having a custom message, we could pass it on to the
UI. I'm not sure what a UI would do about it, though...
