Bug Description
Evolution was not properly assigning groups to new or modified contacts.
Specifically, new contacts would often land in "Other Contacts" instead of "My Contacts" when using the quick "Add to Contacts..." for email addresses.
Additionally existing Google "My Contacts" that were modified in Evolution, would find themselves in the Google "Personal" group online, which is Google's privacy group meaning those contacts would no longer show up on other contact-synced devices like Android phones and tablets without explicit search for the contact on those devices.
There is a patch upstream,

This problem existed with 11.10 and now current 12.04 Beta.

Upstream patch works to resolve this issue. I have tested it against 12.04 3.2.3 sources and it seems to be working well.
