This is only going to bite people installing from one USB stick to another.
USB-connected drives wouldn't be affected, because they report an actual
serial number from the disk; it's just USB sticks that often do not, since
they are cheap. I may be missing the correct scenario here, but it appears
what you are describing is not likely to happen.

I know. I was only testing the speed of my usb stick with hammer and<br>
I discovered the bug. My steps are only a example :)<br>
<br>
Some users install the operating systems in usb disks and they will<br>
have this problem. No only a bootable OS like in the usb images, I mean<br>
people with a real systems (tens of GB) in usb disks.<br>
<br>
SATA, IDE and SCSI disks have a unique identifier, the serial number.<br>
The USB disks need also a unique identifier.<br>
