it is from org-id. It gives the heading a unique id and uses that to
reference the heading instead of the heading's text. That way the
reference does not become invalid if the heading's text changes. And, as
a side effect, it works around the problem you found.

No, it doesn't solve the problem. I guess the problem is that the
heading's text is fed to a format form or something like that.
