I run into retail epubs all the time whose uid in the ncx doesn't match the opf uid. I match them up when I notice the discrepancy, but I have to seriously wonder if it really matters one single bit in the "real world."

When using Sigil, don't be afraid to alter the NCX dbt:uid value to match the OPF's uid. It's getting the OPF wrong that can wreak havoc.
