unified address names keeps changing back to facebook name in ios 6 (Facebook Contact Sync)

Okay what am I doing wrong. Like most people, I was excited for the facebook integration and contact syncing. Some of my facebook friends, were already in my contacts (iCloud), after syncing my contacts with facebook, it change some of my contacts names to their facebook names. I then opened up the contact scrolled to iCloud contact, and chose the "use this name for unified card". I was happy. but every so often it changes them back.

Today I fixed then again, backup up the device, and updated my contacts again in facebook, and it was fine. I am wondering if its an iCloud issue? Could my other iDevices be causing the contacts to changing back?

Anyone else seeing this?

Hey, I did already talked to 2nd level support 1.5 years ago. First they did not understand - then told me they are working on it.

That was IOS 6. now we are IOS 7. it does not seem to have much priority - unfortunately. I had turned the integration function off, and use Brewster, which does not keep overwriting my local changes and it works with iCloud as well.
