Agreed. It is copied to the other address book but not moved (as in deleted from the original address book).
Is this a new behavior or it always was like that ?
I don't remember, I ever tried it before, so I don't know the answer.
Attached patch patch, v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This patch saves the contact details from the pop-up before opening the Edit Details view. It also changes the behavior on changing the address book to create the new card in the new address book first and delete it from the old one after that.

Tentative r+, but I want to hear more about the reordering of the address book reassignment operations before I give a full r+.

I'm curious why this ordering was changed. Any reason for the churn?

If adding the contact to the new addressbook fails before this patch, the contact will be lost because it has been already deleted from the old addressbook. After the patch has been applied, a failing 'Add' operation simply keeps the contact in the old addressbook.
