If you split a file you are creating two pieces from one file. If that file has the name "Section0001.xhtml" and you split at the cursor, the file name 'Section0001.xhtml" is already being used and so is not a valid id for the newly created section. This is especially true if 'Section0002.xhtml' already exists as well.

So under these circumstances Sigil will generate a uuid with an "x" prepended to it to make it a valid unique id instead of trying some variation of 'Section0001.xhtml' and 'Section0002.xhtml' ... that could already exist.
