I had the same problem. If you have a backup of home, replace your actual  
home (rename) and reboot. For me that works, the contacts were back again  
and I could export them. I assume they were still stored in  
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ibdata1 and  
~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/akonadi/collectionable.idb.
