You should add the address with

e_vcard_attribute_add_value (attr, "tom foo bar");

Also remember that you have to commit the contact for it to be stored
back in the address book.

If you need code to look at, I think the best place to look would be in
Evolution proper:

evolution/addressbook/gui/contact-editor/e-contact-editor.c
