Can anyone tell me if this is normal
behavior, or if there is any work-around to prevent this from happening
again. I don't want to go back to my database back up since I will
loose other mail related items that have gone to my hard drive over the
past 48 h since my last backup.

There are multiple options. One of them is to use an unused field in
your contacts to store the category information. An APpleScript will
save all the categories and another one will re-affect them if they are
lost after a rebuild.

Although unfortunately, this workaround won't work if the Address Book
you're referring to is an Exchange public folder. I'm still looking for a
good workaround for users who share contacts via public folders.
