No. Same mailbox.
Two servers are in sync, both with a UIDNEXT of 1000 for a particular
mailbox. They suffer a netsplit and both have an APPEND happen,
regardless of the mailstore implementation, they now both have a different
concept of what UID 1000 is.

This is not true. It has nothing to do with the implementation of the
mailstore.
