When a path is part of a multipath device, it must not change it's wwid.
If it can, when multipathd is reconfigured, you can end up with two
multipath devices owning the same path, eventually leading to a crash.

Hmm. While I do see that this is an issue, just continuing is probably
as bad; the wwid change might be genuine, in which case this device has
no business being part of that particular multipath device.
Can't we just evict that offending path eg by orphaning it and let the
admin figure things out?
Cheers,
