I know my question above has sent everyone feverishly researching to solve my problems... But I beat you to it.
I added this bit of code to the info.plist file in the mobileaddressbook.app folder of /Applications.
Code:
<key>SBAppTags</key>
<array>
<string>hidden</string>
</array>
Did the trick! I even attached the plist file for your convenience. Aren't I great!
