Interesting problem for the S&P op.  If I remember correctly this issue was 
gnawed upon a year or three back with strong opinions expressed on both sides. 
My immediate reaction is to say, yes, the S&Per should give the call sign of the 
running station prior to giving the exchange.

But, suppose WP3R is working through a huge pileup that takes up 5 kHz on either 
side of his run frequency.  Should I observe this protocol anyway?  In this 
case, the likelihood that I'm actually responding to someone else is pretty low.

So, should we do it always or should we make situational judgments?
