Public bug reported:

Evolution was not properly assigning groups to new or modified contacts.

Specifically, new contacts would often land in "Other Contacts" instead
of "My Contacts" when using the quick "Add to Contacts..." for email
addresses.

Additionally existing Google "My Contacts" that were modified in
Evolution, would find themselves in the Google "Personal" group online,
which is Google's privacy group meaning those contacts would no longer
show up on other contact-synced devices like Android phones and tablets
without explicit search for the contact on those devices.

There is a patch upstream,

This problem existed with 11.10 and now current 12.04 Beta.
