IIRC, the bug causing duplicate *image* IDs was fixed in beta 3 (along  
with a separate bug that caused duplicate *graphic* IDs, but fixing  
that bug introduced the new bug in beta 3, which was fixed in beta 4).

In either case, manually fixing the incorrect image and re-saving  
should result in a consistent document; you don't need to worry about  
ongoing, lurking corruption.

As you've noticed, a "duplicate image IDs" warning probably means that  
some graphics contain the wrong images. A "duplicate graphic IDs"  
message might indicate that some line connections, labels, or actions  
are now referring to the wrong graphic. It might be completely  
harmless, though: all graphics have IDs (and any duplicate ID will  
cause the warning message) but most of the document's structure  
doesn't rely on graphic IDs.
