I noted that the script stops with an error with badly formatted addresses, so I made this change to your script in the address retrieval part:

repeat with i in addresses
  try
    set tmp_addr to formatted address of i
  on error
    set tmp_addr to i's street & return & i's zip & " " & i's city & " " & i's state & return & i's country
    replaceStrings of tmp_addr to " " instead of "missing value"
  end try
 my add_data_item("postal", label of i, postal_uri, tmp_addr)
end repeat

and added the following method at the end of the script:

to replaceStrings of t to r instead of s
	set d to text item delimiters
	set text item delimiters to s
	set t to t's text items
	set text item delimiters to r
	tell t to set t to item 1 & ({""} & rest)
	set text item delimiters to d
	t
end replaceStrings

It's probably a good idea to wrap more sections in try blocks in case there is a problem with the data. In case of an error with the formatted postal address, I'd construct it manually (this follows the US's convention for formatting postal addresses, update to your country's format as desired):

repeat with i in addresses
	try
		set tmp_addr to formatted address of i
	on error
		set tmp_addr to {}
		set {_street, _city, _state, _zip, _country} to i's {street, city, state, zip, country}
		if _street is not in {"", missing value} then set end of tmp_addr to {_street, return}
		if _city is not in {"", missing value} then set end of tmp_addr to {_city, ", "}
		if _state is not in {"", missing value} then set end of tmp_addr to {_state, " "}
		if _zip is not in {"", missing value} then set end of tmp_addr to {_zip}
		if _country is not in {"", missing value} then set end of tmp_addr to {return, _country}
		set tmp_addr to tmp_addr as Unicode text
	end try
	my add_data_item("postal", label of i, postal_uri, tmp_addr)
end repeat
