I completely agree that the IM client needs to set the priority to something
other than 0.  
When you connect to the same jabber account from multiple "resources (locations
/ clients)", the priority determines which client gets new messages.  The other
client I use is Pidgin which has a resource priority of 1 when active, and 0
when away...  I wish they would let you edit the resources manually, but even
if they don't, anything is better than 0 all the time.  The maemo chat client
will never receive IMs when there are multiple clients involved unless all the
other ones are already set to 0 and the maemo client is the last to connect.
Please, set the "online" and "invisible" statuses to send a presence priority.

The real root of the problem is that there is no standardization for
resource/status priority numbers, so every client does it differently. 
(Apparently gtalk/gmail uses 24 for away priority so it often takes precedence
over someone actually online with another client).  The priority numbers should
be standardized, but since they aren't, at least let us configure them with
gconf and set them to a default of 1 for online and 0 for away.
