Public bug reported:

Judging from bug #262083, the icons in the user switcher applet came
from Empathy.

Currently, Pidgin is the default IM client in Ubuntu. The icons in the
FUSA don't match the icons in Pidgin, which is confusing and ugly.

Even if Pidgin weren't the default IM client, how on earth does a red
triangle mean someone is away?

For those looking for a work-around, the following shell commands will divert 
the FUSA icons away and symlink in the Pidgin ones:
    dir=/usr/share/fast-user-switch-applet/icons/hicolor
    for status in offline busy online away ; do
        for size in 16 22 32 48 ; do
            file=$dir/${size}x${size}/status/user-$status.png
            dpkg-divert --divert $file.fusa --rename $file
            [ $status = "online" ] && status=available
            ln -s /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/status/$size/$status.png $file
        done
    done

** Affects: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Changed in: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => fast-user-switch-applet
