Just a quick check:
http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#presence-syntax-children-show

It seems like Zimbra broadcasts its Available presence as "chat", while this
should rather be done by simply omitting the <shown/> tag. Still, Telepathy
should recognise this as Available, rather than Offline.

(if these guesses don't make sense, I'll just submit the bug at Zimbra too :-)
)

tnx!
