Doesn't look good. If these are your two UUIDs, then they are too similar
(they are supposed to be pseudo-random); and if these aren't, then why
does the error message display UUIDs different from the actual ones?

The error message you see was added (in r30684) to fix an unrelated bug
(that occurred when a repository changed its UUID but not its URL). It
didn't intend to change the behaviour of externals.
In other words, *if* the change in behaviour you see was a result of
that change, then it was an unintentional result.
