Hi Sam,
I still can't duplicate the problem you were seeing.  When I set
use.id.as.filename=1 and don't change root.filename, and I have an id on the
book element, I get the TOC file named index.html and all links to it say
index.html and they work. That is what it is supposed to do.

The only time use.id.as.filename setting has an effect on the root element's
chunk filename is when the root.filename parameter is explicitly set to an
empty string.  Then it will fall back to the id value if there is one, or
generate one if there is no id. But in all cases, the links agree with the
filename and work.  I can't find any combination of parameters and id values
that makes the root filename and the link references different from each
other.  Do you still have the version of the customization that did that?
