Sure, introduce another message flag. Messages that contain it can be
sent at any time, and checked against topology id set as socket
option, each time such message comes in. Also sockets insert them
before first message in any pipe. And for multicast they are just
periodially sent. As it's just sanity check, not security one, we
could live with messages coming from pipes which didn't sent topology
id (but can't actually sent, because I believe messages with reserved
flag set will drop connection). Also new implementation that don't set
topology id, should accept any one (so you can upgrade nodes one by
one), eventually this way of using sockets should be deprecated.

As I've described in SP mailing list, I'm not happy with UUIDs, but if
other way is more complex, I could live with that. (Although, I don't
see a problem of keeping ordinary message with topology id around, to
insert into every new pipe)

And please, do both checks: socket type and application's id, it will
help a lot.
