I can't reproduce this.  If I import the vCard below into Horde when  
the contact does not already exist:

> BEGIN:VCARD

> X-ABUID:DFC6A6D3-258E-450D-B47B-5CE30FE24CEE:ABPerson
> END:VCARD

Then in  Horde, I see exactly only the cellPhone field populated,  
which is correct. No other phone fields are filled in. If I export  
this contact, I see:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
UID:20151103090606.TyESyhrsEXKe9kKHPbpyIgz at macbook.hsconsulting.com.au
FN:John Doe
EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET:jd at email.com
EMAIL:jd at email.com
EMAIL:john.dow at mail.com
EMAIL;TYPE=HOME:jd at email.com
EMAIL;TYPE=WORK:john.dow at mail.com
TEL;TYPE=CELL,VOICE:+1 5555 555 555
N:Doe;John;;;
END:VCARD

It looks like what is happening to you is that your client does not  
recognize the homeCellPhone field (it's only exporting 'CELL,VOICE',  
not 'CELL,VOICE,HOME'. So, when it's updated within Horde, it sees  
that as the CELL,VOICE field. This is really a client error/issue, and  
not a Horde issue. We are importing the data as provided.
