Sometimes leaks freshly-created connections.

Description
The illustrious Robert McQueen reported that he had a Gabble connection kicking around that Mission Control didn't know about, preventing him from connecting to that account. Some investigation revealed that it was in the “NEW” state telepathy-glib uses internally to mean “no-one called Connect() yet”.
This suggests that something went wrong in the gap between MC calling RequestConnection() and calling Connect().
One hypothesis is that MC crashed while introspecting the connection before calling Connect() on it, and the MC crash recovery code didn't shoot the connection in the head, but nor did it pick up where it left off.
