  The point is that generate-id() is not a random string
generator.  It generates an ID based on a node, always the
same ID for the same node.  If you call it without argument,
the context item is used (which is indeed not possible in a
function definition).

  If you can't use extension functions nor pass a reference
node to the function, I'm afraid you are out of luck here.
