Personally I would prefer to delete the empty drawer.  I still have
weird behaviour with cloning a subtree.  I start with this:

,----
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ID:       c3601a9c-d1f6-4e76-b7fc-707895112011
|   :END:
`----

and on the heading repeatedly clone it with C-c C-x c 1 RET RET

and I get this:

,----
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ID:       c3601a9c-d1f6-4e76-b7fc-707895112011
|   :END:
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :END:
`----

then this

,----
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ID:       c3601a9c-d1f6-4e76-b7fc-707895112011
|   :END:
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ID:       c3601a9c-d1f6-4e76-b7fc-707895112011
|   :END:
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :END:
`----

then this

,----
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ID:       c3601a9c-d1f6-4e76-b7fc-707895112011
|   :END:
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :ID:       c3601a9c-d1f6-4e76-b7fc-707895112011
|   :END:
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :END:
| * test task
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :END:
`----

and as far as I can tell it behaves normally after the 3rd clone.  I
don't understand why the second clone keeps the ID.  All clones I've
tried after that produce the expected result with the empty property
drawer.
