That said, when it does break, it's OK to report bugs.

But Lion—and everything in it—is under an NDA. You agree to that NDA when you 
sign up to get seeded with OS betas. Those UUIDs are part of the seeded OS, so 
they're covered by that NDA, so you're bound by your NDA not to tell us or 
anyone else what they are until Lion ships*.

Likewise, any Growl developers who have seed access are bound by the same NDA. 
Pushing a change to our public repository that includes Lion UUIDs would be 
publishing “Apple Confidential Information” (as the NDA puts it). It would be 
breaking the NDA.

Please don't put us in the position of having to answer to Apple Legal for an 
NDA violation.

*And the UUIDs won't necessarily be the same from a seed to a release. We've 
had that happen before. So even if we do throw NDAs to the wind and publish a 
fix, it may not actually be a fix when the real Lion ships, so us taking on 
that danger would end up pointless.

One more thing:

The GrowlMail patcher that we have under development grabs the UUIDs from the 
Mail application and Message framework on your system, so there'll be no reason 
to tell us the UUIDs. We'll be able to get them ourselves and publish a fix for 
the public once Lion is public; until then, if you don't mind running untested 
GrowlMail on a beta OS, you'll be able to use the updater.
