Possibly, but it seems like a particularly specific value (number of boxes opened) to be contained within a GUID, so somebody at Blizzard must have at least considered this possibility.

Mainly, it's because I just want to cover every base, really. Users always come to me with the most bizarre bugs, and it's usually because they're doing something highly abnormal (that they don't realize is highly abnormal).
I may be able to find an entirely different method of doing what I want for this specific addon, but I was curious about this bug, primarily because if it does exist and the problem is not mine, then it has reprocussions for database sites like Wowhead and WoWDB who most likely use this method of tracking opened containers as well.
