I think this is not a bug.

The symbol loader will create a symbol for every classfile that it finds. See also [https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/21f14e371c0baa9d59678fe5645cea80586ef116/src/compiler/scala/tools/nsc/symtab/classfile/ClassfileParser.scala#L648]

Stepping back, there are two possible approaches: don't create duplicate symbols in the first place, or detect duplicate symbols if they are created. I trust we all agree that the former approach is preferable wherever possible; but if it isn't (I don't know) then we would probably benefit from identifying some invariants about when/where/how we will encounter such duplicates and how/where/when we can reliably detect them.

closing stale backend tickets that may not be relevant in current Scala and seem unlikely to receive attention
