What account type and connection manager is this with?
This is for an AIM account using telepathy-haze to use libpurple to connect.
Yup. Setting one's own alias with Haze is still unsupported, and awaiting some fixes from the libpurple API. Please see FreeDesktop.org bugzilla #13124 for more information. Closing as UPSTREAM due to this. Apologies for the slight inconvenience. :-/
