OK, I did so. I'll paste the result below. 

What I see from the output is that the evolitionPerson schema is
installed, because single contacts are stored as evolutionPerson.

Adding an empty list fails with "object class 'groupOfNames' requires
attribute 'member'". That's right, at least one member is mandatory for
a groupOfNames. Perhaps the Contact-List Editor should keep the
"OK"-button deactivated untill there are entries. 

Adding a list with manually typed mail-addresses fails with "no values
for attribute type"

Adding a list with dropped adressbook-entries fails with "attribute
'uid' not allowed". Indeed, groupOfNames does not know an entry called
uid, it's just cn, member, businessCategory, description, o, oi, owner
and seeAlso. If I define a groupOfNames manually, the cn is shown as
listname in Evolution.

I browsed through the code today (again), but this is not easy to
understand if you're neither familiar with C nor with gui programming.
If anyone told me wich functions are concerned it would definitely
help :)
