The difficulty here is that ID attribute values are not easily predictable, and dependent on the source block's position in the document. This complicates tasks like styling a specific source block -- with the previous ID generation method, this could be reliably done with an ID selector; with the current behavior, that's no longer true.
Can you provide some insight on why the behavior was changed? I'd be happy to expand the scope of my bug report to cover whatever code relies on the change.
