Comment:

 Ok, after setting up my environment I was able to debug this. I have found
 the following. In the mission control log there was the statement "missing
 mandatory account parameter password". We do
 [http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/model/neighborhood.py#line810
 set the password when using gabble when we create the account]. However,
 when the account exists already, the password seem to not be known to the
 server, either not stored/restored correctly or not transferred well.

 I verified that this is the case and deleted the telepathy settings
 (~/.local/share/telepathy/mission-control/) on two machines and restarted
 them, the next run the account got created again. I could see both buddies
 in the neighborhood view and shared Chat fine between those two machines.
 Looks like we are back to the previous behaviour when we sort out the
 password issue.
