So this rather looks like you are not using  'snapshot' as snapshot but rather 
as a quick COW device clone - where you obviously need to change identifiers, 
since they are used later independently. (something like we do with 
'vgimportclone' where we duplicate VG)

Maybe it might be worth to think about fsadm extension to support filesystem 
cloning as a built-in feature which would handle change if fs UUID across 
different filesystems...
