I concur. I move files between libraries fairly frequently (faster to move a thousand files to a working library for cleanup and move them back to my bigger library when done than it is to do cleanup in place) and get new IDs all the time. For similar reasons I don't link books, either.
However, we were asked 'is this a good idea?', but 'how can I do this?'.
"I didn't ask 'how big is the room?', I said 'I cast fireball'."
People who pay me ignore my advice on best practice (and I have been paid a lot fixing these situations), so I no longer judge... besides, I have enough weird questions of my own to try to talk someone else out of theirs.
