This is only going to bite people installing from one USB stick to another. USB-connected drives wouldn't be affected, because they report an actual serial number from the disk; it's just USB sticks that often do not, since they are cheap. I may be missing the correct scenario here, but it appears what you are describing is not likely to happen.
