After you have created a contact list / distribution list in the address book,
if you open the list to add or remove contacts from the list, the new contacts
are added properly, but every other contact in the list is corrupted.  The last
names remain in the list, but all other data disappears, including the email
addresses.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an address list
2. Click Ok to save it
3. Double click on the list to open the list for editing
4. Add another email address
5. Click Ok to save


Actual Results:  
All the user data in the list has now disappeared for the original list addressees.

Expected Results:  
The original list addressees should have been maintained properly and the new
contacts added to the list.

Note: You can successfully add a new contact to a list by doing the following:

1) filter the contact list or scroll until you can see the contact you want to add.
2) DO NOT open the list for editing!!!!
3) Drag the desired contact from the right pane to the contact list and drop it
onto the list.

Reporter, can you comment on whether the corrupted contacts contained any commas
in their Display Names?  See bug 117846 comment 9 and bug 232315.

nonresponse.  Symptoms are similar enough that it's most likely a dupe.
