Description
Please find in attachement a simple project that illustrate the issue : trying moving a label does not works.
The issue appears since 3.2.2 or 3.2.3 (as I tested it works correctly on 3.2.0 and fails on 3.2.3).
After more investigation, I could notice that a project with this kind of setup saved with 3.2.0 also works correctly on 3.2.3 but will fails again if the rules are editing. Comparing qgs files between a working and non working reveals that non working file missing rule uuid :
working qgs file: <labeling type="rule-based">
<rules key="{106f3856-6dcc-4ea3-8be9-d41a6fa39b68}">
non working qgs file: <labeling type="rule-based">
<rules key="">
Adding an uuid make the labels movable again.
Investigate the commits, it seems b6901e2 is the cause of the regression : uuid creation was removed from qgsrulebasedlabeling.cpp (line 68)

Moving labels doesn't seem to work again in version 3.6.2. This is probably true in earlier versions as seen in: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/290780/move-label-not-working/321272#321272
Manually clicking in data defined X and Y coordinates and storing them on project makes it work.
