Research direction
Reproduce the export using the listed preferences and verify the result with exiftool. Start by tracing darktable’s output-metadata handling for Xmp.exif.ImageUniqueID and compare it with the raw file’s EXIF value. Done means exporting a JPEG where ImageUniqueID contains the source value rather than "="; no source file or test is named in the issue.
