There seems to be a 2. reason for crashing:

If you add an e-mail adresse to one contact and that e-mail is in another contact before, evolution ALWAYS crash with that error:

For example you have 2 contacts.

1. John, john@g.de
2. John Frankling, <email address hidden>

if you add john@g.de to #2 the crash will occure. No crash if you delete #1 before editing #2.
