I could reproduce this behavior. This does indeed seem to be a bug.
At first, I couldn't reproduce the problem because I created the
distribution list differently. I did the following:
Using the "+" button next to "Distribution Lists" I got the "Edit
Distribution List - KAddressBook" dialogue with Name: "New Distribution
List". I changed "New Distribution List to "Dymond Road". Then I
clicked "OK". After that I selected a few contacts and added them via
drag&drop to the new distribution list. A distribution list that is
filled this way with contacts appears to survive closing and reopening
of the Address Book.
I hope this approach also works for you.
Regards,
Ingo
