Loopback is the router ID even with then Router-id 1.1.1.1 config on router 1

As a second source, here's the Cisco Press BSCI book info:
"...loopback interface with the highest IP address will be selected if no RID has been configured."
That's a round-about way of saying the router-id command over-rules loopbacks.
RID > loopback > physical
It's good that you're sharp enough to catch that mistake in TK. They are far from reliable and a very shady operation. | |

Actually, if the router-id is put in after the router is booted, the loopback will be the OSPF router id. The router id is selected at the time router ospf 10 is entered. Putting in the router-id command will not change a running OSPF process. This is something that will bite you in the butt in the field. |
