it's a bug, vala should either generate correct code, or report an
error. But generally, if something doesn't work, it's because it's non
obvious, and may be unsupported.

This is definitely a bug, something public that is used in the second
file isn't declared.
adding:
    const char* id_interface_get_id (IDInterface* self);
    void id_interface_set_id (IDInterface* self, const char* value);
after:
    GType id_interface_get_type (void);

in the generated C files solves the problem, so it shouldn't be very
difficult to fix, it just needs someone who is familiar with the
codegen.
(You should probably file a bug in bugzilla about this so it doesn't get lost)

HTH,
