Hm, but that's exactly what I did with my test..  The cn was "Account"
and I changed it to "Account Test" without clicking on the button and it
worked (sn shows up as "Test").

Evolution does parse the full name field whenever it syncs from the
contact editor to the ECard, and it'll pick up a surname if there is one
(there are bugs in the i18n behavior of that parsing, but it does
happen). So as far as the parsing code is concerned, it doesn't matter
if it's a create or update.
