Hi
I also have this error. Problem derives from the fact that ChangePhoto searchs 
for the uri dedicated to the image editing (rel ...#edit-photo), that seems to 
be missing from link list of the entry.  This is true for the entry retrieved 
by GetContact call (maybe for CreateContact also, I didn't tested), but the 
same entry, accessed from iterating in a GetContactFeed, DOES contain that key, 
so ChangePhoto works. In my case this is a little frustrating, because I 
iterate over all my (locally managed) contacts, and for each resulting updated 
respect gmail, i have to:
1) GetContact (or CreateContact, as is the case)
2) UpdateContact
3) if it has a (local) photo to upload, i must also:
4) GetContactsFeed filtered to retrieve only that entry
5) ChangePhoto using this last entry
A little long, but works.

Glad you found a work around. Please raise the lack of the photo edit link on 
the Contacts API Forum so that the underlying API can be fixed:

I pulled the revision 7e8b0032f693 and ChangePhoto seems to work fine, AS LONG 
AS there are no photos attached to the contact already. If contact already has 
a photo, it fails. Attempting to use DeletePhoto method fails too. Here's what 
I did to get it to add/replace the photo regardless of existing one:

import atom
my_req = atom.http_core.HttpRequest()
my_req.headers['If-Match'] = '*'
gd_client.ChangePhoto(
  'thumbnail.jpg',
  contact_entry,
  content_type='image/jpeg',
  http_request=my_req
)

I think the addition of that header should be made into an optional argument of 
ChangePhoto for that specific purpose.
