This is not a bug in KDE Telepathy rather the opposite. All telepathy clients are dbus activated, so dbus just chooses whatever app can handle it (in this case, showing a text chat)
In telepathy whoever is launching a channel can provide a "preferredHandler" and give the name of the handler. Unity clearly isn't giving one, (empathy) so dbus loads something at random. Setting a prerfferedHandler on ensure_channel will solve this.

When you open Empathy messages through the indicator of through the launcher icon it either doesnt open any window or it opens the kde- telepathy-text-ui version which doesnt seem to be localized when opened. When i uninstall kde-telepathy-text-ui and relog or restart empathy the issue is resolved but it is very annoying if you want to test multiple Desktops and don't know why your old desktop starts behaving crazy.
