Respectfully, I do not think there is a chicken and egg situation here. Either the user has included a generated id field and value in the portion covered by the signature, or the mutation of the portion covered by the signature has been modified, hence has an invalid signature.
Any user signing their commit, should ensure it is the last operation, or be prepared to resign it later.
