Howdy,
In an effort to avoid endless thrashing, I will be updating the Session-ID draft to only be about troubleshooting use.
For dialog matching issues, I have followed Adam's advice and submitted a separate draft to update RFC 3261, linked below.
This issue will only get worse, and the code changes to do this should be fairly small for most folks, I would think.
And it's only 6 pages, so we should be able to agree on this in about 3 years.  :)

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

        Title           : A Secure Call-ID for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
        Author(s)       : H. Kaplan
        Filename        : draft-kaplan-sip-secure-call-id-00.txt
        Pages           : 6
        Date            : 2009-03-04

Many SIP devices generate Call-ID values which contain their system IP Address, due to examples and normative text in RFC 3261.  This has led to some middleboxes, such as SBC's, to change the Call-ID for security reasons.  This draft updates RFC 3261 to require SIP User Agents to generate benign Call-IDs, in such a manner that they can be detected as secure and not need to be changed.
