I've always suspected that, but yesterday it made me sick completely and I decided to check it with testing: my friend was sending me messages while I was logged out. All of them were lost as it turned out when I logged in.

LiveJournal does not have its Jabber server configured to retain messages sent to offline users. However, you should get an error message back saying that the message could not be delivered rather than the message just being silently dropped. Are you not recieving the error?
LJ Talk runs on DJabberd, which does have a plugin that implements retention of messages sent to users while they're offline. The module is called DJabberd::Delivery::OfflineStorage, but obviously it's up to the LiveJournal folks to enable this if they want to support it.

I just tested it using LJ Talk, and a personal machine running djabberd, running Adium 1.3.1 on OS X. Sending to an offline user gives me a message that the subscriber is offline, and offers me the option to have the client cache it until they come on next, or to send anyway.
