There's some XPCOM weirdness going on here that causes the address book listener to sometimes work but mostly not work.

Attached patch 1618100-dirtree-qi-1.diff (deleted) — Splinter Review

For a one-line fix that took a lot of figuring out. I don't know why sometimes the interface seemed to work and others not, but I suspect it has something to do with the XPCOM mechanism, which also explains why this wasn't a problem with a C++ AB manager.

I suspect this also caused bug 1617535 – both the test that the bug was really about, and the test I patched.
