Hi Laurent,
I'm not familiar with the Bugtracking System. For me it is the same bug, 
because the symptoms are the same. I export a contact to vcard import it again 
and the contact changes.

But I found the reason why:
The order of the names in the "N" line in the vcard must always be lastName, 
firstName have, regardless of the order in the "FN:" line.

=========== without "Show: reverse name with comma" ========================
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
FN:Adam Lastname
N:Lastname;Adam;;;
UID:74d63af5-16b8-4144-abcd-8db0d36f5174
END:VCARD
=============================================================================
=========== with "Show: reverse name with comma"=============================
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
FN:Lastname\, Adam
N:Adam;Lastname\,;;;
UID:74d63af5-16b8-4144-abcd-8db0d36f5174
END:VCARD
=============================================================================
=========== the right form ==================================================
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
FN:Lastname\, Adam
N:Lastname;Adam;;;
UID:74d63af5-16b8-4144-abcd-8db0d36f5174
END:VCARD
==============================================================================
