Had a quick look - there's a trivial race in the utility code that a
bit of tempfile can fix, but the more correct fix for
telepathy-mission-control is to do the same fix that telepathy-glib
did here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/telepathy/telepathy-glib/commit/?id=36c2a545c9c1d1cc6db205bfc33d980d29b0a0f6

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69446 is the upstream bug
I just filed for this.
