I really cannot see the use-case described by the example. I would not think that there are any examples in the "wild".
Oh, I'm sure there are! Yet I support your proposed change Peter. I also consider this usage of id an anti-pattern, and I'm fine to breaking BC in this case to fix once and for all reference handling.
I propose that we defer handing id's until the processing stage.
