Smart groups in iCloud but not on Mac

I'm not sure exactly how to word the subject, but here's what hapenned:

Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I activated iCloud for that Mac aftwards

All seemed fine for a while until the first time I tried to send mail to Smart Groups that I had previously had set up from other address groups in Snow Leopard. That caused mail to crash repeatedly upon opening until I figured how to delete the outgoing message before it crashed.

Those Smart Groups no longer seem to be populated in my Contacts list. Neither do the groups under "On My Mac" in Contacts. They still appear but have no addresses within them.

Yet when I go to iCloud.com or select the groups within the iCloud section of Contacts, they do appear.

How do I get my Smart Groups repopu on my Mac?
