Import all your images and then make a button with this script:

on mouseUp
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of images
     set the ID of image x to 50000 + x
   end repeat
end mouseUp

You may need to alter it so that it gets to all your images, depending 
on where they are, but you should get the idea.

Once you have re-allocated unique IDs, you won't have any further 
problems with images and you won;t have to re-build your stack or even 
re-import the images.
