Description

@koke posted about some tracks events with user_id=0 and noted:

The total count is relatively small (~20K in March), and most of it seems related to extensions, but it seems worth looking into, in case it’s hiding some other issues.

(internal reference: p4a5px-2y7-p2)

Let's investigate these events and make sure there aren't any problems related to the user_id=0 events.
