No, it shouldn't. It generally isn't a good idea to change uids in the
first place, and certainly not while logged in. If you do, then the
change does not take affect until you log out and back in anyhow, and
any permissions in the filesystem will not be updated unless you update
them.

Title:
udisks does not update permissions on /media/<username> directory
after uid change
Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I am using a just updated copy of 14.04. The version of the udisks2
package is 2.1.3-1.
I changed the UID of a user on my system from 1001 to something else.
After the change, the ACL permissions on /media/<username> still
reflected the old UID. After I deleted the directory and inserted a
usb thumbdrive, the directory was recreated with the correct acl
permissions.
ACLs after UID change but before removing the directory:
$ getfacl /media/rat
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: media/rat
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
user:1001:r-x
group::---
mask::r-x
other::---
After removing the dir, inserting a thumb drive, and then removing the thumb
drive:
$ getfacl /media/rat
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: media/rat
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
user:rat:r-x
group::---
mask::r-x
other::---
Since udisks controls the /media directory, shouldn't it just verify
and update the permissions of the directory?
