I am not sure if it is the best idea to change the copy for the empty
state. This would mean that we have to change the copy every single time
if a new group is created and a new section appears in the header.

How about reassessing the need of a favourites section in the first place when no contact was made a favourite yet?
As the plan is to move frequently called entries into the recent call screen, this section might always be empty because some users simply never favourite any contacts (me for example). This means that the section will be always present, even if unused.

My suggestion is to only surface the favourites tab in the header
sections if users really use it, this way we remove any need of
additional empty states.

Title:
  [address book] Empty state for Favorites view not correct

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Triaged
Status in address-book-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The empty state for the Favorites view of the contacts is confusing and should be improved. Currently if you have populated contacts but not favorites, it will show:
  "Create a new contact by swiping up from the bottom of the screen". If you do swipe up and create a contact it is not even made a favorite.

  I'd propose changing the message to something like:
  - "You have no favorites. Open a contact and select star button to favorite" or something along those lines
  - It's fine to leave the "+" on bottom edge but the Star should be automatically selected if you create the new contact from the Favorites view
