Hey Seth, thanks for your report.
Well, first of all (as you asked in 4) the appropriate places for bug
reports in SHR is the shr trac (trac.shr-project.org) :)
As for what you said:
1. in my POV the contacts app SHOULD NOT restrict the numbers at all. And I
think it doesn't do it anymore (latest mrmoku/tests I think we changed that
there).
2. same response as 1.
3. same response as 2.
5. same response as 3 :)

Enjoy,
-- 
Tom.
