MSN does support invisible. I've seen it on the official client. What 
I've noticed is that "busy" leaves AIM untouched. I wish it would put 
AIM to away, because I don't want to be bothered. "Invisible" seems to 
sign off any service that doesn't support it. Again, it would be nice 
to have it simply put those to away.

As a future feature it would be nice to have an "advanced" option in 
the away message editor that would allow the user to customize how each 
service is affected by each away message. If anybody has access to a 
PC, Trillian has this option, and it is very neat, organized, and easy 
to use.
