Well, as you say, the Skype API is unsupported but is still in there... so I played around a bit and got something that works (today, with version 7.5, with the moon in its current phase).
The following script is poorly written, but works:
set userList to "skypeuser1, skypeuser2, echo123"
set messageToSend to "Hey, it works!"
tell application "Skype"
    set chatIDString to send command "CHAT CREATE " & userList & space script name "skype_messages.scpt"
    set chatID to character id 35 & (word 2 of chatIDString) & "/" & (word 3 of chatIDString) & (word 4 of chatIDString)
    send command "CHATMESSAGE " & chatID & space & messageToSend script name "skype_messages.scpt"
end tell
Basically, what you're doing is creating a new chat session, which returns the following string:
"CHAT #yourusername/$c14a201aac174943 STATUS MULTI_SUBSCRIBED"
The trouble is the CHATMESSAGE command wants only part of that string, from the hash mark (#) to the end of that hex string. AppleScript was giving me headaches about parsing that string as words to get the bits I wanted, so that's why there's the code where I save off the parts I need, and then rebuild them as a chat ID.
And, as far as I can tell, the name of the script in each Skype command can be anything, but it has to be there.
Hope this helps,
Mike
