XMP sidecar file with incorrectly written IptcCore tags

Version:           2.2.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                MS Windows

According to email conversation with Phil Harvey - ExifTool Author - following
IptcCore tags have been written incorrectly:

CiAdrCity
CiAdrCtry
CiAdrExtadr
CiAdrPcode
CiAdrRegion
CiEmailWork
CiTelWork
CiUrlWork

These are elements of the "ContactInfo" structure used by CreatorContactInfo,
not stand-alone IptcCore tags.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
In DigiKam settings choose: Metadata Writing Mode: "Write to XMP sidecar only"

Then add metadata using right hand side Caption/Tags -button --> Information
panel. (I think I had to create metadata template first (using pencil button on
Information panel) writing just some test text in all possible fields. I then
applied this template into a selected photo. I had marked my actual photo file
as READ ONLY in Windows Explorer.)


Expected Results:  
Software should write metadata correctly and robustly!
