I take it you don't get a job error, i.e. the job "succeeds" but has no 
matches, right?

The code looks fine and I don't think there were any changes to that 
particular search recently. But this  (Akonadi/Nepomuk interaction) is out of 
my area of expertise, not sure how to debug this further.

You could try to modify one of the contact the sparql querys in 
Akonadiconsole's item query tab to the one for UID in 
kdepimlibs/akonadi/contact/contactsearchjob.cpp

There is probably also a Nepomuk commandline interface or D-Bus interface that 
allows for Sparql queries, i.e. in order to bypass Akonadi and check if the 
search itself works.
 
Cheers,
Kevin
