--- Comment #1 from David Edmundson <kde at davidedmundson.co.uk> ---
Unfortunately we go through an abstraction layer between raw XMPP and us. Great
for us, but it means we don't always have access to the lesser-used features.

I can't see anything in our docs [1] which relates to that XMPP option.

If it's not there it's still possible, but it means we have to add support in
the telepathy protocol and in the layers above, which realistically is
generally more time consuming than we can afford.

In this case it's especially difficult, because our abstraction layer means we
only have one object representing our own contact shared across all channels,
telepathy's design deliberately goes against what this needs.

[1] http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/Channel_Interface_Group.html

I'll leave this open in case any other devs can find something/comment, but
upon my investigation I don't think this is something we can feasibly do.
Sorry.
