I think you need to consider how the backup process is run. Normally people start Evolution from the GUI - click on an icon etc. The backup process is that the when you click the menu item, it starts an external program which closes Evolution and it's associated factories, does the backup, then restarts Evolution. In that process, because you didn't start Evolution from the command line, there's nowhere for any messages to appear, and because it restarts Evolution before terminating, there's no return code to Evolution to indicate an error occurred and there's no parent process to display the error.
