It is because according to xep-0054 you can have vcard with the following entry: <TEL><NUMBER>2029</NUMBER></TEL> With that entry the current VCardProvider skips this number cause it doesn't have any code (VOICE, VIDEO ...). The patch set VOICE to be the default one, if others are missing. And the default is work phone, as noted by the comments.

It's possible that this bug exists also with other elements in VCardProvider
