Pascal, please read the core-documentation chapter on versioning.
There it's clearly stated that only the mode "Element: Just record" 
leaves the UIDs of pages and content-elements intact.
Both others "Branch" + "Page+content" will change them.

Thus it's rather a "well known missing feature", than a bug;

Finally, the "Branch" versioning type is used if you want to rework a 
whole branch of the page tree of a site. This gives you flexibility in 
terms of adding, deleting, moving and copying elements around that is 
unmatched by any of the other types. But on the other hand you suffer 
the same problems of "Page" versioning where you might break links and 
other id-references since all content below the versioned page "root 
point" will be separate copies of original content without any 
references back to their originals. You will loose not only anchor-point 
references but also links to page IDs! As it is right now I consider 
this type most useful for building new sections of a website or major 
rearrangements of sections where these consequences are acceptable. Yet, 
it remains to be seen what actual usage people will make of it.

I wonder why you would want to use versionig at all; I guess doing a 
mysqldump and loading the files into Subversion/CVS would be a much 
better choice for taking snapshots which can easily be restored.
