UniqueDeviceID different between apps on Windows Phone 8

We have two apps we've developed for Windows Phone 8. I've set the Publisher ID in the WMAppManifest to be the same GUID, but for some reason each App is declaring it's own UDID.

Why? What have I missed?

I've found this question and this question but they don't seem to say anything more.

Each app communicates over a web-service and requires the device identifier, it would be really annoying if each of the 500-odd devices our company has purchased had two rows in the central database.

Any clues anyone?

Apparently this was a conscious decision by Microsoft "in order to protect user privacy". Therefore I don't think it's possible via another API.
