It seems to me that the new two-way sync for Google contacts is not working properly.

First, in order to make contact details editable, it was necessary to delete all existing Google contacts, re-setup the Google account and sync the contacts to the address book. After that procedure the contact details lost that world icon and can finally be edited.

Second, I encountered changes applied to Google contact details not being synced back to Google. However, changes applied on the Google side seem to sync to the phone correctly.

Edit 16.07.2014: [1.0.8.19] I was halfway wrong claiming the two-way Google sync not working when creating contacts on the phone. In fact contacts created on the phone are being synced to your Google account - however, if you happen to have more than one Google account, the contact might be synced to the wrong Google account as there is now no possibility to choose which account is to be affected on contact creation.
