Please provide any additional information below.
The reason for this failure is a bad XML returned from Google API:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Hello,

This issue seems unrelated to the Python client library. Please feel free to 
file an issue against the Contacts API:

I would expect Google to redirect the ticket to the right category, instead of 
relying on users to do the hard work (which is caused by a bug in your end).

Also this bug is affecting us at the moment, so it would be nice to get fixed 
ASAP.

Hi,
What is the status of this bug. We also see it with other values but exactly 
the same behaviour.
Apparently it's a very old bug (August). Any chance for a fix?
Thanks,
Corneliu
