I've looked at this twice now and I can't see an obvious reason for the hCard to be incorrect. There is on-going debate on whether hiding information is a good or bad idea, but the actual mark-up you've used is correct and I've no trouble at all parsing your card in Tails, Operator, etc.
Hi, I'm one of the people butting heads over this right now on the wiki as my hCard has a number of hidden fields. Just to clarify that the original issue (and the issue with my data) is over the hiding of individual fields.
I am of the opinion that field hiding via a class is ok, but via an inline style is inappropriate as if some naive hCard consuming application preserved tag attributes blindly (for some reason), this would live on. However, hcard-brainstorming#CSS_Styles seems to allow hiding fields in this way. As for hiding entire cards, hcard-examples- in-wild is full of them.
I have gotten a bit frustrated with the microformats.org process throughout this as people flagging my format as problematic have neglected to provide a justification for disallowing field hiding or a reference to a previous discussion of this issue. I hope that in the future we will have better process on the wiki.
