For any of you trying to locate a particular Address Book entry via the 
associated "person id"... here's an AppleScript that should do it for 
you. -- Took longer to make work than I expected, but still less than 5 
minutes work, so easy enough I suppose. =)

Simply change the "person id" in quotes (the one shown below is the one 
that Jason Sewell provided, and is unique to HIS system) in the script 
to the one you're actually looking for that was reported in your own 
log... and run the script. Address Book should pop up a dialog with the 
person's full name.

=====
tell application "Address Book"
	set abppl to every person whose id is 
"B0A88E32-626C-11D8-AF1A-003065BA8CB2:ABPerson"
	set abpers to item 1 of abppl
	display dialog (name of abpers) as string
end tell
--  application "Address Book"
=====

Of course... I would encourage you to still report the problems to 
Support personnel as requested by Scott.

Good luck!
