Assignee is not set in behaviours if user picker returns multiple results and the required user is not the first one

The assignee set in an initialiser using the following script is not set if the user picker returns multiple results and the required user is not the first one.

To reproduce this login as user with username "admin" and create a user with display name "Other admin". Setup a behaviour with an initialiser containing the following code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ASSIGNEE

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

getFieldById(ASSIGNEE).setFormValue(currentUser.name)

The user picker call to /rest/api/2/user/picker will return more than one result and the required user will not be the first one in the list.

We need to do an exact search which the user picker endpoint does not provide. Excluding certain names may work but it's probably best to have our own endpoint to return an exact match on username.
