I use BTS wallet contact accounts associated with BTS public keys to allow miners to mine BTS at minebitshares.com without having to register an account to login...
They simply user their BTS key as their username...
i.e. BTSX7wjLyYs2cR1Gj9WX9vW1kELndM2u4UCEnr5VgLyTiH1wib3w8q
This has worked very well for the last few months, but since Dec 20th and "client_version": "v0.4.27.1", the pools auto payouts have failed due to issues with 'resolving' wallet contacts.
There are two issues it appears:
1. When I've created a local contact account using a public key, if the public key belongs to a registered account, it appears the client 'resolves' the key to the registered account name and I can no longer reference the local contact using the name I originally used as the contact name.
2. I cannot remove the contact - it appears as though wallet_remove_contact_account does not save the removal to the users wallet - the removed contact re-appears on restart
This is not true for newly registered accounts - this may be only true for accounts registered before the change from BTSX to BTS public keys.
It's effect means I've having to manually payout miners, which is a very time intensive process and so is delaying payments...
I've detailed the steps below so someone can repeat and confirm the issue, any help or confirmation that this is a know issue, would be very useful, I'll add it to github as well.
Adding a local contact account for a public key that has been registered.

Note: the client appears to have ‘resolved’ the contact into the registered name ‘mulla’ associated with the public key.
Right away, I’m able to refer to the contact account …
