It's still happening in Ubuntu 13.04. As explained in the original post, you can reproduce it using 2 different external monitors in a laptop, for example. Left the laptop hibernating, change the monitor and open de laptop again. Some of the windows will be off the screen with no way to recover them.

If that position was originally on an external monitor and later the monitor is disconnected then Empathy still tries to open the window at the same position, i.e. off screen and in GNOME 3 it is difficult to move it back.
