This is now the case in 2.5-mm - bdflush() is deprecated and will print a stern warning on use.
I suspect this will move to mainline shortly.

Yes, Evolution is broken. The problem is actually ORBit. I have talked to Elliot Lee about this and we are not sure whether it is the kernel's or ORBit's fault. I originally thought it was ORBit's, but it is looking like the kernel's to be honest. The behavior of getpeername() wrt to sun_path seems to of changed. If any networking hacker wants to look into it, please do :)
In the mean time, you CAN fix the problem by patching ORBit. I have a patch and RPM packages available at:

Which works just fine for me.
