I updated the bug.  Looks like it was misdiagnosed by "Justin".  Also
looks like you are a subscriber, so you will get my update.

Temporary work-around is simple.  Create a personal contact with the
list address only and use that contact.  Exchange, rather than evo, will
handle the distribution to list members and it will work.  Evolution
will activate the auto-complete drop-down, and both the contact and the
AD distribution group will be presented.  Make sure you select the
contact.  You can identify it because it will show the list address in
the drop-down, whereas the GAL lookup will show the truncated list.
