That should indeed show the vCard exactly as stored. Just to double-check, can
you run "syncevolution --export /tmp/contacts.vcf peer10 local" and attach the
file? The key point is whether it has "ox.png" directly at the start of the
line.

That's very puzzling, I cannot imagine any situation where the Synthesis vCard
encoder would put "ox.png" at the start of a line.

The next step to debug this will to run store the contact again and this time
record more debug information in the sync log. For this use:
syncevolution --delete-items peer10 \*
syncevolution --sync local-cache-slow loglevel=4 peer10

Then attach the latest syncevolution-log.html file under ~/.cache/syncevolution
for the peer10.
