Date of birth without year not saved in contacts

Sometimes it is possible to save the date of birth without the year of birth, but this happens rarely and after several attempts.

I'll add it. I have enabled synchronization with google contacts, and if Google contacts do not specify the year of birth, but only the date and month, then the birthday is not displayed in the contacts on the iPhone. If I add a birthday without a year through my iPhone contacts, it appears in Google contacts, but not in iPhone contacts. Is there any way to fix this problem without adding a year?

I do not use Google contacts, I sync with iCloud. I just tested adding a date of birth to a contact that I would not normally have a date of birth for and was able to easily add just the month and day to my contacts in the iPhone. That also successfully synced across my iPad and MacBook. It may be a question you would like to ask Google support too.
