I don't know if it still affects the OP, but it affects me (on Ubuntu 14.04) and I think on Ubuntu 13.10 I had an issue with Facebook as well, I only get GoogleTalk in 14.04 for now. It is very annoying as you can imagine :). Also if you click on the button to go to the Ubuntu Settings panel and go to Google account it states that it's already authorised so no other option than to remove the account and add it again...
