Or perhaps he's been observing lawyers, who -- at least in the US --
vastly prefer Id. I don't know anyone who uses Ibed.

I can't recall this ever being an issue in law.

I'm not a lawyer, but here's a source to back you up. THE BLUEBOOK
(16th ed.) gives instructions for correctly using "id." -- short for
idem (the same as above) -- but never mentions "ibid." or "ib." --
short for ibidem (in the place already mentioned) -- at all.
In court documents and legal memoranda, use "id."
when citing to the immediately preceding authority.
In law review footnotes, use "id." when citing to the
immediately preceding authority within the same
footnote or within the immediately preceding footnote
*when the preceding footnote contains only one
authority*.

It's "ibid." or "ib.", not "id". Short for the Latin "ibidem".
I think "id." can be used as an abbreviation for "idem", a different word.
