Extended Accounting stores project ids only. Not having project ids

That sounds like a bug.
It might be. Right now this is easy to do: the sysadmin can define his
own projects in NIS or LDAP to create a company-wide consistent project
id namespace and the system-defined project ids below 100 are always the
same. Making system-defined project ids differ across systems breaks
this convenience.
However, since the extended accounting file format is not a fixed
format, it can easily be extended to also include the project name in
the accounting records (at the expense of slightly more space use, which
may well be worth it).
