Looked at the code and you are right. (What a surprise. )

Possible problem: the operation isn't atomic so we can end up with the same UUID in two libraries. I doubt that is a significant problem and in any event the same thing can happen if a backup is restored, but it does mean that we cannot count on the "unique" part of the UUID.
