When computing the unique int, the coordinates are rounded to approx 1/1000 of px
In what ways can this be affected by the current px/mm ratio (which is in principle variable) ? One way is if the radius or centre of the star is specified in mm (or pt etc.), though this should be relatively rare.
One possibility is to retain the linear-congruential random number generator implementation (which is just a few lines, and doesn't even use long longs any more), and store a seed per star in the XML.
(I won't advocate one way or the other, just providing information relevant to a decision.)
