This is the 1st time i have seen this behavior so i am not in a position to state whether it is a regression or not. That said I always expected that all phone numbers associated to any contact in the contact list irrespective of the contacts origin would appear in the auto suggestions ...and end users would expect this as well. So whether or not this is a regression it need to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

Agreed, but the Messages app only knows about the data that is provided by mozContacts

The root issue is a dup of bug 907740 and likely others as well.
