Hmmm... why should you bother to reference a personal communication ?
Such private communications may be mentionned in the text (possibly by
a footnote) but can't be properly referenced (since there is nothing to
refer to). If you feel that this communication must be referred to, you
should give it some (written) support and (properly) reference this
support.
ISTR that at least CSL and BibLaTeX have types appropriates for a
manuscript or a letter. You may also consider your own notes as
documents and reference them (properly).

Indeed : the key is, in relational algebra terms, the primary key of
the bibliographic relation...

Such special casing is probably a bugs' nest... err.. hive. And
pointless, as explained /supra/.
