I am using version 5.10.0 On OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (VERSION="20190115") and the
issue is still here as well.

Steps to Recreate:

1. Open KAddressBook
2. Right click on the folder 
3. Select "Add Address Book Folder.." from the menu (First entry)
4. Enter a name for the new folder in the window that pops up
5. You will get the same error on the screen (Could not create address book
folder: could not create collection [name entered in step 4], resourceId:4)

I have managed to find a work around for the time being thanks to user @zahnd
on KDE Forums (https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=215&t=143208)

Work around:

1. Go to the directory which stores the KAddressBook contacts
1.1 You can find the address to this directory by right clicking on the Main
folder in the KAddressBook > Address Book Properties
2. Create the folders you want
3. Come back to KAddressBook
4. Right click on the main folder and click Address Book Properties
5. Simply click the Okay Button to close the window
6. Your newly created folder will show up in KAddressBook.
