This is not really a problem, just something AI loves to complain about.
IMO dumps must be correct only wrt unmodified objects. If we have
objects A B C, and A and C either get registered or removed during the
dump - whether they appear in the dump does not matter. Only B must
appear. If the IDs are from Xarray they are usually stable, the problems
with dump consistency mostly come when dumping a list or a hash table.

Please repost with a better commit msg if there's some list / hash table
here that I'm not spotting. I'll take patch 1 as is.
