I am aware of this. Gtalk subscriptions were not working for a while but now
they work fine.

Here are the xml stanzas from the ejabberd log. I sent subscription
request to my own gtalk id from our component.
(Note that I have replaced the component host with im.domain.com in
the original stanzas)

Sent by ejabberd:

<presence xmlns="jabber:client"
          type="subscribe"
          to="naikvin at gmail.com"
          from="user1 at im.domain.com"
          id="Component-2789936364">
  <nick xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/nick">Nick of User1</nick>
</presence>

Received by ejabberd:

<presence type="subscribed" from="naikvin at gmail.com" to="user1 at im.domain.com
"/>
<presence from="naikvin at gmail.com/gmail.27EC5968" to="user1 at im.domain.com">
