Following this tracker for a while, I know have found a solution that works for me. I found the problem using the libgdata debug described above, but with Evolution 3 and libgdata 0.8.1. Thus, Evolution it put a more conclusive error message which led me to this:

Maybe that's also your problem. As described there, you could either wait for libgdata 0.8.2 being released. As a workaround, you could instead delete or label all user-defined fields in your Google contacts.

I did not know which of my contacts have such fields, and using the Google web interface to find it out is obviously very inconvenient. Instead, I started libgdata in debug mode (see above), wrote stdout to a logfile and searched this file for the term "user". With this method, I quickly found all the contacts containing user-defined fields and deleted those fields (if unlabeled). After that, syncing works well again (also with Evo 2.32 and libgdata 0.8.0 as installed with Natty).
