It sounded like, from Nordlund's description, his sections already have IDs. So it might cause problems to replace those IDs.
We'd need to know: do ALL xrefs target titles, NONE of them target actual sections?

Well, my impression was that the DocBook XSL stylesheets takes this
into account, so in theory it doesn't matter if the @id was placed
wrongly. Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't tested that.
However, if you really care, I would target your issue from a different
angle: use XSLT to move your @id attribute to its parent element. Pass
the result to your DocBook stylesheets (or your customization layer).
No FO customization is needed in this case. :)
Here is a stylesheet that moves an @id attribute from a title
element to its parent element (probably it's incomplete, but it should
be easy to extent it):
