Yes.  It would increase the risk of duplicate message ids, i.e. all
the users of all the machines in our department share the
'dina.kvl.dk' mail host name, but I'm the only one using ssv2.

The *only* important property of the message-id is that it is unique,
so I do not support any option that would counter that.  Especially
since some misguided people might turn it on in order to get
"prettier" message-ids.
