Public bug reported:

There are circumstances when contacts will legitimately have the same
phone number. Eg, family members who have different mobile numbers but
live at the same residence, business contacts who have the same number
but a different extension, etc. Sometimes the dialer-app will show the
wrong contact is being dialed when dialing the number. Steps to
reproduce:

1. Open the contacts app
2. add a contact, 'Foo' with mobile number and shared home number
3. add a contact, 'Bar' with different mobile number, but same home number as '2'
4. open 'Foo' in the contacts app, then press the phone icon next to the shared home number, and the dialer-app opens

At this point, 'Foo' should be shown as being dialed, but instead, 'Bar'
is shown as being dialed.
