At some point awhile ago, any address card in my address book that did not have a name (but did include an email address) has been corrupted to show (null) in the name column (where it used to show the email address).

I've uploaded an attachment so you can see an example.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard (although I believe this started in regular Leopard)
2.4 GHz MacBook Pro

Anybody have an idea how to fix this?

I'd start by dumping the Address Book preferences and cache. Delete com.apple.addressbook.plist and ...addressbook.abd.plist from ~/Library/Preferences; and the folder com.apple.AddressBook from ~/Library/Caches/

you can try the following:

1) make a backup of your Address Book

2) quit out of Address Book.

3) move the file ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb to your Desktop

4) open Address Book

This will force Address Book to re-index it's records.
