The problem is that the contact itself does not have visibility. The visibility is dependent on which group the contact is a member of. You don't see the contact in your list because by default the contact manager only wants to show the contacts in the "My Contacts" group. In your example if you go to your contact manager and go to the display options and choose "All other contacts" on your Google account you will see the newly added contact. This option will display the contacts in that account that do not have any group membership.
You need to query the Group ids via ContactsContract.Groups and insert a group id when creating a contact via ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership.
