No. "The headers will have minor differences" does not refer to the
Message-Id, but to the Received headers at a minimum.

Yes, they will be the same when Replying to All. Anyway, Message-Id's
are not *guaranteed* to be unique. Although, granted, identical
Message-Id's for different mails are very rare. Yes, we had this
discussion pretty often in the past...
