I changed it just now on the trunk, to:

It is up to the data manager to assign this.
The special value None is reserved to indicate that an object
id has not been assigned. Non-None object ids must be non-empty
strings. The 8-byte string '\0'*8 (8 NUL bytes) is reserved to
identify the database root object.
""")
Ok then I guess this comment in Connection doesn't apply anymore:
# It sucks that we have to hold the lock to read _invalidated.
# Normally, _invalidated is written by calling dict.update, which
# will execute atomically by virtue of the GIL. But some storage
# might generate oids where hash or compare invokes Python code. In
# that case, the GIL can't save us.
