I re-merged everything and then I double-checked through the whole file. No Section id's anywhere.

First attached screenshot shows the file before splitting (SigilBug5.jpg).
Second SS shows the file after the first chapter split (SigilBug6.jpg). The file is appropriately named Section001.xhtml in both the Book Browser and the Content.opf.
Third SS shows the file after the second chapter split (SigilBug7.jpg). Section002 is there as expected but Section001 has been inexplicably renamed.

This cannot be right. I've never seen this happen in previous versions of Sigil.

If you then merge the files back up, you get the Python error. Which I have also never seen before when merging. As I said in my OP, the merging still works but the error is unsettling.

2) I've seen that on Windows. I don't see it on Linux. But I've never seen any functionality problems because of it. I assume it's a new cosmetic-only Qt quirk.

I'm not able to recreate the Python error when merging files, but I'll keep trying.
The missing icon doesn't appear to reduce any functionality, but it's a quirk I haven't seen before and my albeit-limited experience of "quirks" is that they're often a function of something else more sinister. That's why I'm wondering if the two seemingly separate bugs are related.

In case I'm just missing something, I've attached the ePub after re-merging and then splitting the initial file so you can see what's in it.
