After some discussing with @Mardy. We discovered that what is causing
the bug is that, the messaging app now is a confined app, with that it
can not create accounts on behalf of address-book-app (contact account).

The solutions that we have are:

1 - Workaround online account daemon to accept this kind of action;
2 - Remove "import from google" button from messaging app;
3 - When the user click on "import from google" button from messaging app, it 
launches the address-book-app with a special argument, and the app launches the 
online account dialog.

I have implemented the solution number "3" on silo 46.

Any comments or suggestions?
