It is possible to have duplicate guids, but only when one project was copied by hand. Visual Studio would never do this on its own, and I suspect if one tried to use project references in VS, it would choke, as it uses the guid to identify the project.
COM theory has it that guids are unique to one object throughout the entire universe, so Martin's proposed patch would be more in keeping with that ethos.
