This can be problematic for automatically-named styles (e.g., calibre_7) that aren't necessarily even referring to the same type of element.
If you're not going to go to the effort of preestablishing all of the file and style names before adding anything to the anthology (admittedly an annoyance), at least change the filenames in the epub you're about to add in before you actually add it in so that they're unique.

In an omnibus, you are best to use one stylesheet so you can use the same classes in each story so you can keep the formatting consistent. If you have to edit each story so they use the same formatting so be it.
