Under some permission setups attempting to "Contact the author" when the viewer is the author (i.e., attempting to send a contact to one's self) will fail even 'though it works if the author is not the same as the viewer (it may actually fail all the time, but I know it fails under my restricted account settings). It also normally doesn't really make sense to have a link to contact your own account about your own posting.

I fixed it by changing line 13 in contactlink.module from

if ($account->contact) {

to

if ($account->contact && ($account->uid != $user->uid)) {

FYI, I'm using Drupal 6.1 ... and thanks for this little module, BTW. It's appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, I've committed the suggested change to 6.x and 5.x branches. You should see it in the -dev release shortly. I am planning to roll an actual 1.0 release shortly incorporating this change.
