Fwiw, notwithstanding the annoyingness of this bug, it is NOT a regression.
I just tested this on TB version 2.0.0.24 (20100228), and nicks do NOT get absolute precedence in composition's recipient autocomplete (but it's easy to get fooled into thinking they do).

I tested with this scenario (basically):

Card1:
firstname: n1n
email: asdf at asdf.com
nick: n2n

Card2:
firstname: foo
email: asdf at asdf.com
nick: n1n

STR
1 compose new msg
2 in TO recipient field, type "n1n"

Actual Result:
- card 1 is at top of autocomplete list
- ...

Expected Result:
- card 2 having fullstring match of nick should be at top of autocomplete list
