HI,
No, this should not be a problem.
I entered a  New iCloud Issued Apple ID as the iMessages service ID  and it loads all 6 of my iChat IDs with no problem.
There was a sort of implied question as to whether you had issue (of the same nature)  in iChat as well.
To be clear in Lion I am using:-
1) iCloud @me.com name as both iMessage name and An AIM valid name (two services)
2) A Google ID
3) Jabber ID
4) @Mac.com name
5) Yahoo ID
6) another 2 AIM Names (my Main name and a 'Spare")
As you seem to be jsut starting with Lion we have to consider whether you migrated a User from another computer to this Lion one.
If so some of what The SmokeMonster says will apply.
Depending how and what you Migrated the Current Keychain my not be Owned by "You" as the Current Mac User Logged in on this computer.
Make the Finder the "Front App" in the Menu Bar.
USe the Go Menu  and hold the ALT key down to show the Library.
Select the Library and then Keychains
Highlight the login.keychain.
Do a Get Info ( Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and i Keys together).
At the bottom of the panel will be Onwership and Permissions.
You should open the padlock and click the Cogwheel looking icon.
Your Short Name followed by (me) should appear in the list with Read an Write Permissions.
When you use the cogwheel icon it should read to make Your shortname (me) the Owner but greyed Out if you already Own it.
In this Example I have Read and Write access But I am not the Owner
