I too find this extraordinarily annoying. A better workaround (a plugin?) that didn’t require quicksilver would be great.

LaunchBar too have no problems with nicknames to start an email.

I find this limitation very annoying. Most of my friends with nicknames have non-unique first names like Paul or Mike. And at least one calls himself Michael so if I want it to match in Mail.app I have to have that instead of Mike in Address Book. My workaround is to use Quicksilver to start messages in Mail. It has no problems with nicknames.
