Bug Description

I have been experiencing this bug for a few months now in Ubuntu Gnome 12.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 (via Ubuntu Online Accounts) where when I add a FB account, it looks okay UNTIL I try and connect to it with, well, anything even the GOA itself, I tried 13.10 (like I usually do with alpha/beta releases) and this bug is still present, what's more is this bug is present in OTHER distros (I'm filing a bug on the Gnome bugzilla as I type), reason I'm filing this here is I'm making sure it's not something in Ubuntu that isn't playing nice (doubtful since Arch doesn't inherit the patches from Ubuntu)

What I expected to happen: Facebook to work with GOA and Empathy,
What actually happened: GOA looked like it tried to connect to FB, but gets an authorization error, I double and triple checked the details I entered, even resorted to copy/paste.
