Intriguing.  I guess that means the problem is somewhere in the evolution
source RPM.  The most likely culprit is the porting of evolution conduits
to the pilot-link 0.12 API.

I took a look at the garnome distribution, and it includes a 
"evolution-2.5.4-fix-conduits.patch".  I'd be interested in
comparing that patch to the changes made in the Suse patch.

If you can put them up somewhere temporarily I'd be happy to host
them on my downloads site.  We could then put a link up on the
wiki.  Mail me privately and we'll sort it out.

I expect they will.  And time-saving :)
You should also inform Suse by raising a bug if you haven't already:

Good sleuthing...
