Rob, empathy uses enchant so you should try the same text in tomboy as it uses it too, I tried and I can reproduce this in empathy but works fine in tomboy so this is indeed an empathy bug and btw bug 545424 will be marked a duplicate of this bug because seems like empathy have problems with spell checking so once this bug is fixed that will also be fixed automagically (talked upstream).
