Google contacts without name shown as numbers in People app

When syncing contacts from a Google account, entries with empty name field but with non-empty organization / company field (company phone numbers, for example) are shown as numbers in People app's contact list. Search does work using company names, though, but nevertheless it's annoying, especially when receiving a call from one of them and not being able to identify who's calling you (only their numbers appear).

I think that the import procedure should somewhat take into account the company / organization name when syncing contacts from Google, as seems to be the case for vCard imports (more details from MattVogt at this thread).
