Strange.  Personal Contacts seems to be the default label for the migrated 
addressbook.  After talking to one of the developers I wrote up what he had 
told me on 
http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_and_AddressBook#Examining_your_Resources

I'm not sure how that tallies with what you saw - does it help at all?

Still, the main thing is that you have it working now, although I'd love to 
know the reason.
