I see this too.  0.9 and recent nightlies (I think I was running 1126 before) 
did not do this.

This happens also with TB 1.0 RC1.

If I switch to another address book category, address list is just cleared.

Now if I restart TB, and then go instantly to compose/forward I can see email 
addresses correctly, but if I switch to another category then it is again 
cleared. So I have to use that address book window to get addresses or restart 
TB to send email. 

I would suggest that this would be fixed before TB 1.0 as this is one of the 
most annoying problems with it.
