I don't have much of a helpful suggestion for this problem, but here's an angle:
Google is not a postal service. Do you need to store postal codes there? The reason I can think of is mapping, but...
I store email addresses with the email supplier - I've actually deleted other info there.
These sync to the phone, which obviously has numbers, but also other details. That's all backed up to the Palm Profile and occasionally I do the full 'CelleBrite Export' and save the .vcf file locally.
That's my take. Limit data to what's needed by a particular service. Synergy puts it together in one place: Your hand.
However, the OP seems suggest that the problem occurred after syncing a Nexus7, so perhaps this somehow disrupted the syncing process or data storage style, creating a problem for the Pre.
A way to avoid manually re-adding post codes? I haven't tested all of this, but I've done 1,4 & maybe 5.
As the data is not 'lost', I'd suggest the following:
1. Back up ALL the phone contacts to .vcf
Export all your contacts | webOS Nation
(you could quickly open the file in a text editor to see if postcode data is present, but it's probably a sync rather than display problem)
2. ASSUMING it's possible to download all your contacts from Google or off the Nexus7, do so in a format that will import into Palm desktop or Outlook (.vcf should work). If you use Outlook, you might want to install Palm desktop (or vice versa) just to avoid 'doubling' contacts. Do the import.
3. Erase all your contacts from the phone (NOT the whole profile)
4. Do this: HP webOS : Download & Run the Data Transfer Assistant (DTA)
5. Import your hopefully complete contacts list from google via Palm desktop or Outlook to the palm profile.
6. Success? If not, you at least have it all backed up. You could try your Pre .vcf -> Google and resync...
7. Uninstall your once used contacts program.
