If the 'album' class's 'id' property is meant to represent the AlbumId, that is a bug and should be reported as such. If it's meant to contain an arbitrary unique value solely for use in identifying album elements by id, that's just shortsighted design and you should put in a feature request asking for it to use the AlbumId, which is more useful, instead. Which it actually is, only an iPhoto engineer could tell you, so I suggest filing it as a bug report with an explanation as to why it should use the AlbumId specifically.

I assumed before that the 'album' class's 'id' property is meant to represent the AlbumId and not an arbitrary UUID. iPhoto AppleScript dictionary defines it as "id (integer, r/o) : The unique ID of the album.". AlbumId is unique inside an iPhoto library, UUID is unique globally, so I don't know which scope is meant here. It could mean either one, although it looks more like UUID. I should definitely file a feature request.
