Exists query on _uid field gives incorrect result on Elasticsearch 6.0.0

I think I am getting incorrect results when I run an Exists query on _uid field on Elasticsearch 6.0.0. I believe the result is incorrect because I got different (and correct by common sense) results on Elasticsearch 6.2.4.

Here is what I did:

PUT /test_schema_1
{
  "settings":{
  	"analysis": {
      "char_filter": {
        "quote": {
          "type": "mapping",
          "mappings": [
            "« => \"",
            "» => \""
          ]
        }
      },
      "normalizer": {
        "my_normalizer": {
          "type": "custom",
          "char_filter": ["quote"],
          "filter": ["lowercase"]
        }
      }
    }
  },
    "index":{
      "number_of_shards":1,
      "number_of_replicas":0
    }
  }
}

PUT /test_schema_1/_mapping/test_table_1

{"test_table_1":{"properties":{"business_id":{"type":"text"},"full_address":{"type":"text"},"city":{"type":"keyword"},"city_analyzed":{"type":"text"},"state":{"type":"keyword"},"state_analyzed":{"type":"text"},"review_count":{"type":"integer"},"stars":{"type":"float"},"location_field":{"type":"geo_point"},"test_map":{"type":"nested"},"name":{"type":"text"},"open":{"type":"boolean"},"datefield":{"type":"date"}}}}

Query:

POST /test_schema_1/test_table_1/_search?scroll=300000ms

{
  "from" : 0,
  "size" : 1,
  "query" : {
    "bool" : {
      "should" : [
        {
          "bool" : {
            "must" : [
              {
                "exists" : {
                  "field" : "_uid",
                  "boost" : 1.0
                }
              }
            ],
            "disable_coord" : false,
            "adjust_pure_negative" : true,
            "boost" : 1.0
          }
        }
      ],
      "disable_coord" : false,
      "adjust_pure_negative" : true,
      "boost" : 1.0
    }
  }
}

I got 0 hits on Elasticsearch 6.0.0, which suggests no field has valid _uid fields. However I got 5 hits on Elasticsearch 6.2.4.

Is this a known bug? Or is this behavior documented somewhere that I haven't found?

Thank you!

Do you mean to write _id instead of _uid?

I mean to use _uid, though I understand starting from ES 6, _uid is just a view of _id.
