If the identifier is a valid EUI-64 identifier, I don't see that as any 
different from putting an Ethernet card into an IP phone (no better, no worse).
GSM phones have burned IDs that are sent over the air too - that is how the 
telephone operators can blacklist a stolen phone, even if the thief swaps 
the SIM card.

Ideally, the IPv6 privacy extension should still work, of course....do they?
