CustomerContext.GetCustomerContact creates new contact

The problem in user Register / Login scenario is as following.

I'm able to register and login user, but after CustomerContext.CurrentContact is called, there is a new entry in the cls_Contact with the following data changes:

UserId is changed from Guid to 'String:<emailaddress>', e.g. "String:dariusz.wozniak@opti.com"
Email becomes empty
FullName is email address now (was the actual name)
LastName becomes empty
FirstName is email address now (was the actual name)
All other data (except Ids and Modified/Created date) becomes NULL / default values

The question: How can I fix that? Should I explicitly set UserId to something like "String:<emailaddress>"? If so, how can I do that?

Aha, I see the FoundationContact now:

// The UserId needs to be set in the format "String:{email}". Else a duplicate CustomerContact will be created later on.
public string UserId
{
    get => Contact.UserId;
    set => Contact.UserId = $"String:{value}";
}
