I don't think this is an Addressee bug. The line you quote is correct as 
the formattedName should be an override, if the formatting can't be 
deduced from the individual name fields. In most cases it should be 
empty.

KAddressBook either has to not set the formattedName or the "Name..." 
dialog has to set the formatted name when being closed.
