Start in electrum/contacts.py at import_file and _validate, then trace the Qt entry points in electrum/gui/qt/util.py, main_window.py, and contact_list.py. Reproduce contact import with the reported input and establish the expected validation behavior; done means importing it no longer raises AttributeError and the behavior is verified.
