Saimaa: Local contacts lost photos

Now thats really bad: After the (double-)upgrade to Saimaa I found that all* of my locally stored contact do not have their associated images any more. Those that are somehow linked to an online account have one (not the one they had before, probably the one fetched from the service), but the contacts that I originally imported via VCF in December 2013 all lost their faces.

There's only two additional things I could give as a debug info:

  • As far as I remember, all the now missing images were in the VCF and are not located as a file on the device (not that I'd know of).
  • Of the few images now showing (as I said, all people somehow associated with one or more of my XMPP accounts), some are the avatars those people chose for themseves on the network, others are images I had chosen for them (usually the same that I had also put in the VCF file). Doesn't seem to make a difference. I know for certain that those people stopped using their accounts a while ago, so probably it's cached information that survived somewhere.

EDIT: Possibly related, I now have an empty contact (really empty, no name, no number, no additional details at all) that shows up as "(unnamed)" (including the brakcets). So in addition the the letters of the alphabet, the contacts application now has a section for "(" (as the first letter of Mr. or Mrs. (unnamed).)
