org-property-set-functions-alist is a variable in org.el, so it seems
you are loading org-contacts.el before loading org.el (and the autoloads
in your .emacs seem to confirm that).

Problems:

o org-contacts requires a recent version (> 7.4) of org. The version
  that came with your emacs is not going to cut it.

o you are probably loading the version of org that came with your emacs.
  To check, say M-x locate-library <RET> org <RET> and see where it loads
  org.el (or org.elc) from.

o if you are using the built-in version, download the version from git (if
  you have not already) and follow the instructions in section 1.2,
  "Installation", of the Org manual to install it.

And please clean up your .emacs: the autoload section that goes

should be *replaced* by what the doc says. Don't leave it hanging around.

If you still have problems, submit another problem report (btw, the
information you included in this one was spot-on: both the .emacs and
the backtrace were needed for diagnosis).

HTH,
