Wondering if anyone else is seeing this on the GM (16A319)?

When deleting faces that have been automatically found by Photos, a blank gray thumbnail is left behind on the "Add People" screen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Photos in 10.12 GM
2. Allow Photos to finish scanning for faces if it has not already done so.
3. Go to Albums --> People and click on "Add People".
4. Chose a Face/Person with just 1 photo.
5. Find that photo in youthe library that has a face mark as "unnamed".
6. Either click the "x" directly on the circled face in the photo or click the unnamed face in the info panel and hit delete.
7. Go back to Albums --> People and click on "Add People".
8. You'll see an empty gray box where the deleted face's thumbnail had previously been.

Note: This also happens if you've already added the person to your People list. In that case when the face is deleted, the person will move into the hidden section and the thumbnail box will again just be an empty gray box.

This is happening to me whether iCloud Photo Library is turned on or off and as I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I updated my library from 10.11, I've already created a new empty library to test and I'm getting the same behavior.
