I have no history with that ROM but if nobody else is complaining try clearing data on the app. If that doesn't work, try removing the app either by uninstalling or from /system/app if it's part of the ROM. Then re-install it from the market.
I can't reproduce this problem on Redemption ROM (that's the name of the ROM, HeyItsLou is the dev ), but I do wonder what type of account your trying to sign in with. I've heard of issues on various ROMs with Google Talk if the account is anything other than a normal GMail account.
I like it a lot so far its really really smooth but I have not noticed any better battery life yet but I'm a super heavy user. I have a 3600 mah extended battery and it usually needs a charge by 3 every day so someone else might notice a difference

So just to update every (thanks for all the help by the way) so I started using more stuff and I found a lot of stuff wasn't working like push notifications on any app. I couldn't log into some apps some apps I could log into wouldn't go online like Google talk so I guess something messed up while I was installing the from cause I whiped everything and reinstalled redemption from and now its perfect this from is so so so smooth. Well done heyitslou
