Hey Sergio
Just spunup a test machine on VMWare with version 13.
I can confirm the issue is still present:
pjds@sombrero:~$ sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid

# apt policy dmidecode

Cheers

As Christian mentioned above, we tried to reproduce the issue on bionic

on dmidecode 3.1. Actually, if you look at the
