No, I thought was rather specific about this:

So not just the persistentId will be missing, no attribute statement
will be generated at all (others will hopefully correct me if this is
not in fact the case). Unless, as I said, you add a failover data
connector which in this case would return nothing, successfully, for
the persistentId, leading to only the missing persistentId (which
would be bad enough, I'd imagine, for all services keying off that
data).
