You ask "is there a fix on the horizon" as if there is something wrong with Evolution. Lots of people are happily using Evo with Gnome accounts; there is probably something up with your configuration. You don't say which desktop you are using, but make sure you have gnome-keyring running (that's the application Evolution uses to store the authentication credentials).
