Calibre also includes the 'unique-identifier' attribute, telling clients which identifier is preferred. Are you checking that?
Freda will ignore empty identifiers, but beyond that, it doesn't make any particular effort to use a provider's preferred ID scheme. If a book supplies several non-empty IDs, I'd expect Freda just to use the one mentioned last in the OPF file.
