I see. That's not nearly so bad, but it really feels like a bug. I
don't think this notion of apps owning information they put into
contacts is widespread; I have always viewed them as multiple ways to
access the contacts database.

That explains it :-)
I'll file a bug then.

I have now looked at some in CardBook in thunderbird, android contacts,
and the nextcloud gui. I see what you mean in that there is a notion
that a sip address is a singleton and not a flavor of phone number.
(This is useful to understand, but I think separate from the uninstall
behavior.)
