The uid is stored in data/system/packages.xml and of course the uid of the directory and files owned by the app. You can't touch any of these unless you are running a non-user build.
Did you try to change the app between a shared user id and non-shared? If so, this will cause the problem; on older versions of the platform the install wouldn't fail, it would just result in mismatched uids.
