Excellent!
Doing the --force-shutdown didn't help matters (though
it did allow me to start with a clean addressbook,
autocomplete was still broken.
I checked my autocomplete settings (I hadn't realized
that was a setting at all), and found that my contacts
were already set up to be autocompleted. Deleting the
contacts entry however, then adding it again, brought
autocomplete back to life.
Thanks so much, this problem has been bugging me since
the upgrade. Evolution just became a ton more useful
for me.

The backends are still running holding a copy of the Address Book in
memory. Before moving your data, close the backends:
$ evolution --force-shutdown

Well, if autocompletion does not trigger (remember, at least 3 chars),
check your settings:
Tools / Settings / Folder Settings / Autocompletion Folders
