No idea, but you probably right. one of the servers is behind. Perhaps 
asking on one of the gnome lists about this is a good idea.

Well it supposed to. But firstly gnome-pim HEAD currently needs
gnome-pilot HEAD, but as of last night gnome-pilot HEAD is
broken. ESKIL!!!! ;) We'll make sure it compiles again soon.

Known missing feature in gnomecard/address-conduit. gnome-card doesn't
keep a state of records. So there's no way to know if a record was
edited or deleted.  And it doesn't matter which sync you do. So
behavior you're seeing is correct for current state, but obviously not
what we want eventually. This is mentioned in our ever growing FAQ in 
http://www.gnome.org/gnome-pilot/FAQ.html
