Observed in
60.6.1
60.7
68.0a1 (2019-05-20) (64-bit) Daily
As a side note: contacts created this way also do not generate the new observer notifications or the old listener notification.

I did not test against older version than 60.6.1. Just wanted to make sure, it was not introduced in 60.7.

After chatting on IRC, I learned, that those contacts DO get a UID, as soon as there .UID is called. After that, .getProperty("UID","") also returns the UID.
It might by usefull to to automatically call .UID during creation, so the UID is generated. It may be related to bug 1555288.
I leave this to Geoff to decide, if this is a WONTFIX.

Yeah, this is a WONTFIX. For anybody else who reads this, you should not be accessing UID through the various property methods.
