[Evolution] Bug#454435: evolution: Creates contacts automatically with option disabled

Since I first upgraded to the 2.12.x I noticed that Evolution was creating contact entries even though the related preference is disabled. It really makes a mess of my contact list and it used to work with all previous releases I've used in the last few years, so it would be nice if it worked now as well.

I ended up disabling the plug-in. However, that also disables some information exchange with the instant messaging client.
