Hi Milan, clearing said cache and re-downloading contacts gives the
same result. Since I haven't marked it to be downloaded for offline
use, ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook remained empty after being
cleared. I believe the issue is more likely to be on the Google->Evo
connection rather than something local. Tomorrow I'll try a 'clean'
evo (backup machine) and see if the same thing happens.
