Hi Seb,

This is caused by the tangling code calling `org-store-link' on every
code block, which is useful because we sometimes want to store links in
the tangled code for jumping back from the code to the relevant place in
the original org-mode file.

`org-store-link' is called interactively, and it will insert ID values
according to the value of `org-link-to-org-use-id', which defaults to
`create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id'.  I suppose you could change
the value of this variable which should avoid the insertion of custom
IDs.
