Here I agree with both of you, partially anyway. The message should say how to proceed, but shouldn't be as vague as "internal error". But why not to write a full sentence like "Oops, something went wrong with our underlying system (Telepathy), please try this and that". I think it's more user-likeable than the old fashioned quick-technical-error messages :)
