It works fine for me using emacs 24.  Maybe you've set
`org-contacts-completion-ignore-case' set to nil (which is not the
default), and you are trying to complete a lowercase starter while all
of your contacts have names starting uppercase?

If not, start writing a mail and go to the To: header.  Type the first
character of a contact that definitively exists.  You should get a
*Completion* buffer, or it should complete to the sole matching contact.
Additionally, doing `C-h k TAB' should tell you that TAB executes
`completion-at-point'.

(Even with emacs 24, before the first TAB it'll tell me that TAB calls
`yas/expand'...)
