Comment (by swissspidy):

 Hi there! Welcome to trac and thanks for your report.

 When you insert an image from the media library into a post, it already
 has a class like `wp-image-755`, where `755` is the attachment ID.

 I wouldn't encourage you to use HTML ID attributes. You cannot guarantee
 that the image will exist only once on a page. That's why you should
 target classes whenever possible.
