Google contacts can not sync (update | commit): Cannot authenticate user: Invalid query

[Ringelkrat]

I can not sync with my Google contacts. I added a new address book and selected Google. I added my credentials.
First it did not load any contact. But after a while it loaded a few (96) of several hundreds and prompted a new error message. Unfortunately only partially in English. Note that I have not changed anything between the two messages.

The first error message was: "Suche konnte nicht durchgeführt werden. Diese Abfrage konnte nicht erfolgreich ausgeführt werden. Authentication Required"
The second message was "Die Hintergrundkomponente für dieses Adressbuch konnte die Syntax dieser Abfrage nicht analysieren. Invalid query"
