The Special:NewPagesFeed page displays a list of new articles, including the original author. Contrary to many other places in the UI, there's no UIC button next to the author link.

Thanks for flagging. It must have appeared in conjunction with some other patches related to UserInfoCard that were merged at a similar time. I have now backported a fix for this issue.
Actually, it was caused by the fact that UserCardButton passed this (a Vue object) instead of $el (an Element) to togglePopover, which then propagated to this instrumentation-related function.
