Alright guys here is a quick update.
The approach I have taken is to first get a small python program to work on ubuntu that will use a combination of telepathy-python, mission-control and telepathy-gabble to connect to gchat and send messages, update presences etc. This will allow me to become familiar with telepathy and potentially it could become the basis of a XBMC script.
The program which I initially thought would be quite easy to write has been a bit of a time sink. The reason for this is a combination of minimal documentation for telepathy-python, some silly mistakes on my part and time spend learning how dbus and telepathy work.
In summary i've got nothing to show yet but just wanted to let you guys know that I am working on the project and making progress however small.

I have been waiting for something like this for over a year now. I think your plan sounds solid, so keep up the good work!

I have given up on trying to get VoIP working using python scripts . I am currently experimenting with AuidioEngine by compiling it outside of XBMC, using the necessary libraries, and trying to understand what limitations are and if it is possible to add microphone support.
I also intend to explore whats possible with the dbus implementation in XBMC but I have not started yet.
Any advice or guidance welcome, I am going to make a more detailed post asking for advice on using AudioEngine shortly.
I am still hopeful that I can get VoIP working using the telepathy framework.
