I'm not sure if it applies to all clients. 

In the message subject, it says "web-based Facebook prpl". Before Facebook 
opened their XMPP interface, Adium and Pidgin, were able to login and I guess 
that they did this through http connections to their web.

So it may not apply to users and clients using the XMPP interface.

If it would affect users that are using the XMPP interface, the solution 
shouldn't be to delete and readd the account with the same protocol type and 
Jabber ID that they are already using.
