problem_statement: `OptionList` duplicate ID detection not working as expected
Consider the following code:

```python
from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import OptionList, Log, Footer
from textual.widgets.option_list import Option

class OptionListAddBug(App[None]):

    BINDINGS = [
        (str(n), f"add({n})", f"Add {n}") for n in range(10)
    ]

    CSS = """
    OptionList, Log {
        height: 1fr;
        border: round cornflowerblue;
    }
    """

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield OptionList()
        yield Log()
        yield Footer()

    def action_add(self, value: int) -> None:
        try:
            self.query_one(OptionList).add_option(
                Option(f"Added {value} just fine", id=f"id-{value}")
            )
        except Exception as error:
            self.query_one(Log).write_line(f"{error!r}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    OptionListAddBug().run()
```

If you run it and press keys 0-9, you'll find that corresponding options are added to the `OptionList`.

However, if you start the app afresh, then press (for example) <kbd>2</kbd> twice, resulting in a logged `DuplicateID` exception (expected and desired), after than you can't add any more options to the list, and the attempted added option is always reported as having the original duplicate ID:

In the above I pressed <kbd>2</kbd> twice and then a number of other number keys.

It would appear that `OptionList` is getting every confused in its `id` tracking and/or duplicate detection.
