Question...
This property appears to be a string is there a reason why it's not of type guid?

Property is read only
This property cannot be set even though the above seems to indicate that it can.

Property can be set
If you set the property with a Guid.ToString() it works. Like this:

SPFieldLookup lookUpField = (SPFieldLookup)list.Fields.GetField(fieldName);
lookUpField.LookupField = lookupFieldInternalName;
lookUpField.LookupList = lookUpSourceList.ID.ToString();
lookUpField.Update();
