The record id returned by FX consists of the internal record ID and it's modification number. The modification number is inherently unstable.

I'll answer my own question. 

Searching by -recid works perfectly well as the key to access data but it is not sufficient to act as a key for the data array which is returned. The returned array has a key which consists of the internal record ID and it's modification number. There should only be one item returned array so it is easy to access.
