Thank you Chris for your time and effort. I did some more digging and found that I had 2 partitions on a hard drive which shared the same 9 initial characters in their UUID. These were 01D60603D though I doubt that that matters. The bug went away when I had one of the partitions reassigned to a totally different UUID which raises the question of exactly how many characters are used of the UUID in the identification process.
