1. create a contact with a number
2. create a new contact with the same number
3. using contacts, select the details of the first contact that has the same number within the list and select the number to dial

Expected: contact picture of the first listed contact.
Actual: contact picture of the second listed contact.

Note:
1. this occurs in 1.1 as well.
2. If it's an office or if it's a home phone with multiple people this could occur.

I don't think we have a way to know what contact a phone number should be associated with when selecting from multiple that have that number. The activity that gets dispatched for dialing only contains the number; we match it with the contact manually from the callscreen.

Although this was filed earlier, I'm gonna mark it as duplicate because bug 1044028 contains more information on how to fix this.
