Regression in chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo

Reported by sean.pou...@gmail.com, Nov 21 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Clone https://github.com/seanpoulter/reproduce-chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo-bug
2. Start Chrome as a logged in user
3. Add the repo as an unpacked extension on chrome://extensions in Developer mode

What is the expected behavior?
I expect chrome.identity.getProfileUserInfo to return a non-empty id for a logged in user. I was hoping to use this as an extension "instance ID".

What went wrong?
I see the following logged to the console from a my profile:
{ email: '', id: '' }

Did this work before? Yes 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 70.0.3538.102  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.13.6
Flash Version:

Tried testing the issue on chrome reported version# 70.0.3538.102 using Mac 10.12.6 with steps mentioned below:
1) Downloaded the '.zip' file from URL provided in comment# 0, launched chrome from terminal with the user loggedin in it
2) Added the extension from chrome://extensions by enabling Developer mode, extension added successfully
3) Checked the Devtools>console, observed only warnings in it. Also clicked on background page on extension added, didn't observed anything
