I just skimmed through the thread, so I'm not sure what concensus was reached (if any), but here're my thoughts:
I'm not convinced enforcing a unique name field has a net-positive effect on usability. I like fields to be free-form as much as possible, so that users have the maximum freedom to use the feature as they like it. The way it is now, if a user wants multiple entries for "John Smith" because he knows 3 John Smiths, he can do so. If the user finds that confusing, he also has the option of entering disambiguating labels like "John Smith (coworker)", "John Smith (dude at the bar)", etc. Also, a contacts search would be cool, but one of the things I was planning on working on next was an Ajax auto-complete feature in the message compose window.
