¿Los registros insertados siempre reciben valores de identidad contiguos?

No estoy de acuerdo con la respuesta aceptada. Esto se puede probar y refutar fácilmente ejecutando lo siguiente.

Configuración

USE tempdb

CREATE TABLE Foo
(
    ID int IDENTITY(1,1),
    Data nvarchar(max)
)

Conexión 1

USE tempdb

SET NOCOUNT ON
WHILE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM master..sysprocesses WHERE context_info = CAST('stop' AS VARBINARY(128) ))
 BEGIN
 INSERT INTO Foo (Data)
 VALUES ('blah')
 END

Conexión 2

USE tempdb

SET NOCOUNT ON
SET CONTEXT_INFO 0x

DECLARE @Output TABLE(ID INT)

WHILE 1 = 1
BEGIN
    /*Clear out table variable from previous loop*/
    DELETE FROM  @Output

    /*Insert 1000 records*/
    INSERT INTO Foo (Data)
    OUTPUT inserted.ID INTO @Output
    SELECT TOP 1000 NEWID()
    FROM sys.all_columns

    IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM @Output HAVING MAX(ID) - MIN(ID) <> 999 )
        BEGIN
        /*Set Context Info so other connection inserting 
          a single record in a loop terminates itself*/
        DECLARE @stop VARBINARY(128) 
        SET @stop = CAST('stop' AS VARBINARY(128))
        SET CONTEXT_INFO @stop

        /*Return results for inspection*/
        SELECT ID, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Grp) AS ContigSection
        FROM 
          (SELECT ID, ID - ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [ID]) AS Grp
           FROM @Output) O
        ORDER BY ID

        RETURN
        END
END
