Therefore the sequence number that used to point to one box score is now pointing to a different box score.

If you want to keep all box scores, make sure that you create the annual almanac. Not sure if you then would need to clean up the old box scores or not, but at least this would correct that issue.
The identifier used in game_logs and box_scores is the Game ID from the world.dat file and that resets at the start of every season. IIRC, there are no gaps in the game ID sequence until you get to the playoffs when series end sooner than their full length.
