There are different versions/editions of the same book that Goodreads gives individual ids to. I can't seem to prevent the plugin from overriding what I already have.

Update identifier only if empty
Update identifier never
Override existing identifier

An example would be books by Erica Chilson
She revised her entire series. Each book has the same name, but the revised edition has a different id than what is listed normally.

I have both versions of her books, but when I download the metadata (I am updating comments) only the old version id shows up.
That shouldn't happen. If there is a GR id, it should be used to get the metadata. And that means the identifier should not change. Can you post a log from when this happens so I can see what is actually happening?
