That's a bug in the terminology resources. Thanks for bringing it to my
attention. "text" and "title" are ambiguous and the "text" and "title" of
the address prevent you from getting the "text" and "title" of the custom
field of the address. To work around this, you could edit the terminology
resource and change the custom field "text" and "title" to "field text" and
"field title". I also took this opportunity to look for other instances of
ambiguity, and discovered that "phone info" and "address info" each have a
"label". These should be renamed to "phone label" and "address label"
respectively.

These should be fixed in the next release (no, I can't tell you when that
will be, but believe you me we're working fervently on it).
