Which version of telepathy-gabble, telepathy-stream-engine  etc were you using?
Was this with SIP or XMPP? Can you attach a log from telepathy-stream-engine?

To get such a log run the following and then make the call:
  STREAM_ENGINE_DEBUG=all STREAM_ENGINE_PERSIST=true /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-stream-engine
