Then you abuse "export/import":

  Both "export" as well as "import" create copies.
  You may later delete them but they are copies in the first place
  and there is nothing that forces you to delete all copies (but one).

  A safe implementation must reassign UUIDs.

  UIDs may be preserved provided the complete CMF instance
  is copied as a whole.

Rafael already told you how to fix this...
