Sorry, I do not know whether Clojure can or cannot determine the correct
overload in this situation.

All I have is a weak suggestion that work well enough: have you considered
creating wrapper functions, e.g. in Scala or Java, that have different
enough function signatures that Clojure can easily determine the correct
one?
