Ah. Apologies (it's been a while - i'm just getting back into Gnus - 4
years using a Mac and I've been feeling spiriturally bereft. Thankfully,
most of my old Gnus config still works :).

Anyway, I'd suggest you try the older version, Leo. When I load the
newer one you mention, all I see is a nice little empty box:

You might want to ask the addressbook.el maintainer - Jose E. Marchesi -
if he can provide some further wisdom on this? (I'll see if I can have a
look at why the new vcard.el's not behaving, but I might not have time
until the weekend.)

vcards are way old, man. Aren't all the cool kids playing with
microformats (eg. hcard) now?

cheers,
