Yes, I fixed it later than that:

2006-09-09  Patrick Ohly  <Patrick Ohly gmx de>
[...]
       * src/EvolutionContactSource.cpp, src/TestEvolution.cpp:
       split TYPE parameter with commas into different parameters to
       help Evolution parse it (the overview display didn't handle this,
       the editor did)

I fear I forgot to mention this change in the NEWS file and I also did
not have the time to file a bug report against Evolution. If you want to
do that, try importing a vcard which has e.g. "TEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:"
instead of "TEL;TYPE=WORK;TYPE=VOICE:".
