Base64 CNContact identifier with CNSuggestedContactStore prefix

On our backend we detected imported contacts with strange identifiers, that looks like CNSuggestedContactStore://YnBsaXN0MDDUAQIDBAUGBwpYJHZlc...AAA. Inside of base64 encoded strictly service information like $archiver, CF$UID, internalEntityId, SGRecordId, $classname. I think that contact identifier always should be in uuid format isn't it? Do somebody know what this contacts are and how to obtain them for debug?

We experience the same issue. Also, looks like it is happening starting with iOS 17.

Bumping - we are also seeing this (we expect uuid format as well). I believe this may have been introduced in iOS 17
