I think in a production situation, we actually don't want it to error
out. The odds are fairly good that the run would complete successfully
(ie, the potential OID collision never actually materializes). So all
we're doing is converting a possible failure into an unavoidable one.
Where we want to hear about the problem is in development. So really
an Assert is the right thing.
