Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the listed personal-settings steps, including occ dav:sync-system-addressbook, then trace the contacts and avatar menu entry points. Check how users with all privacy fields set to "Local" are handled; done means user 2 can open user 1's contacts and avatar menus without the failure.
