Run gconf-editor and have a look at /apps/evolution.  You should see
keys named "last_version" and "version".  I'm guessing that the
"last_version" key is already set to a value sufficiently high that
evolution decides no further importing is necessary.

If you set "last_version" to 1.4.6 and restart evolution it should redo
the import process, though it will probably trash your ~/.evolution
along the way.  

Caveat:  I haven't recently tested the above; probably worth backing up
beforehand...
