I definitely had some weirdness when I did my initial sync, including the appearance of a lot of duplicate entries ... but after a long round of manual cleanup the problem hasn't recurred. For me, at least, the problem might have been caused by the fact that the Google contacts setup includes a group called "my contacts" and one called "all contacts," which essentially seem to duplicate one another.

Another bit of weirdness in that general area comes from the Facebook integration feature. Doing that added an <sn> tag in the notes field of Google Contacts entry for each of my Facebook friends. Anyone know anything about that? Deleting the tag in Google contacts doesn't seem to cause any ill effects, but I want to be sure before i get rid of them all.
