Description
It seems like guests are not allowed to set their own status. However, they see the menu alright and can also select another status (or even configure a custom one).
Only upon saving their are greeted with the message "There was an error saving the new status".
Also, are guests meant to the the status of regular users, e.g. int he Talk app? Currently this seems to be the case:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the status-menu and save behavior with a guest account, then trace the guest permission and status visibility paths in the JavaScript app. Confirm whether guests should set their own status and view regular users' statuses; done means the UI and resulting permissions match that decision without a save error.
