Is that any better than "org.telepathy.freedesktop/Gabble/david%20gmail%23.com/ladsjfasr Capability not available"?

That doesn't tell me they were unable to move a contact into a different group because Facebook doesn't support it.

They can see it hasn't worked because nothing happens.

If we want to report back errors we shouldn't be using genericOperationFailed.
