No.
You talked about reusing an older hard drive image, not rebooting.
Rebooting won't cause an USN rollback.
You will have similar problems with every multi master replication
database. Of course, I would prefer it if AD would sort this kind of
thing out on it's own, but the world isn't perfect.
Can the System i do multi master replication for A/A clustering? I don't
know, but I would be interested to hear on how this kind of thing is
handled on the i.

I understand what you're saying but I can't understand how fragile, no,
'crappy' is a better word, AD is if the mere act of rebooting an AD
server causes the environment to get messed up. Because that's what
you're saying: Reboot an AD and if any updates to the AD farm have
occurred during the reboot then the environment can't figure itself out
and gets messed up.
