Outlook/Exchange is known for reusing message ids upon a resend action by the user. Other mail clients may be equally broken in this area but I haven't come across any of those yet. Upgrading your own users (accomplished by switching to most Open Source or even Apple products) will do the trick, but this wouldn't help you in this particular case because the faulty header line is created by their corres- pondants (which is potentially the whole planet's population).
