Well, corner cases there are. The fid you get out of a shapefile is really <filename>.<rownumber> so if you delete any record of the shapefile every fid after that will change. Unfortuantely there is not much we can do about it, shapefile has no primary key concept, and the row number at least has the nice property of being fast to lookup.
