A _working_ wolution is to delete all address book entries you've
recently imported and re-import them, WITHOUT the birthday.
The birthday field has to be in a well defined format (which I can't
remember right now from the top of my mind) and for example OE-export
uses a different one.
So either import w/o birthday dates or edit the exported file and make
all birthday dates be in the correct format (could have been YYYYMMDD,
but that's not 'knowledge' it's only 'guessing').

P.S.: Marck: ain't it time to put this really frequently asked question
into FAQ? I've just searched the archive and a run for "invalid argument
for date encoded" reveals nothing (albeit it should, but it seems the
search algorithm ain't that good)
