Are contacts you link to Facebook backed up to iCloud?

[Zorn]

Anyone have any idea if your unified contacts (phone contacts you link together with Facebook ones) are backed up to iCloud? In the sense that if I have to restore my phone from an iCloud backup, will it remember that CoolJoe and Joe Smith from Facebook are linked? Or would you have to go in and redo every single one of those?

I'm running iOS 6 and right now it even forgets that the contacts were unified. It's definitely really buggy and right now does not appear to sync with iCloud.

I had to shift-restore my iPhone to iOS 6 from scratch because of some bugs. I restored everything from iCloud and everything is back. My contacts (including linked Facebook ones) are fine as well, saved my linking and all.

This is awesome to hear! I haven't had the chance to test it myself.
