I just tried on 10.5.2 with both iChat 4.0.2 (604) and Adium 1.2.3 and  
was not able to replicate what you are seeing.  With both clients,  
Google chat, using Firefox 2.0.0.12, showed my status change without  
seeing me log off.  I'm also able to send a message from google chat  
when I was away and even logged off.
