Could you please explain why there are correct hydra implementations for DOS,
OS/2, Win32 - and nothing for UNIX?

That's easy. You may ask 1:2424/101 when this is necessary. When all mail is
processed by external programs in other OS ( OS/2 in case of /101 ),
filenames in the spool are written in uppercase.
Perhaps you know that people do not use only ifmail+ifnews with ifcico.
Lots of other mailprocessors work with BSO, too. But not all of them do it
"right" for ifcico. I doubt it's hard to change this.

So why almost all the sysops of xUSSR FidoNet area use "incorrect" MSGID
generator?

I'm sorry, you are wrong. There's even the special patch in tx.sc version to
create empty .flos when the session was aborted.
