You DO have import functions: File > import > Import vCard ... 
Go to the folder specified in the vCard directory resource that does not work. 
(the directory specified in your akonadi_vcarddir_resource_22)
Select the filter for "all files" as the names in that directory have no
extension. 
Mark all files except Warning_Readme.txt
Click "Open"
Chose the addressbook that did not work automatically
(in your case the resource name of "akonadi_vcarddir_resource_22")
click Ok
see contacts being imported. 
see your addressbook being populated correctly and usable immediately. 
As I said: Fun fact is that the number of files in that directory does not
change at all, so this is a pure database operation it seems. Importing into
the calender of that same vcarddir that you import from does not duplicate the
entries :)

This is a hack, so it does not solve the bug, but is a first rescue mechanism.
