I was a bit put off by the naming "disabling new homonyms", but I had already 
started to suspect that this actually meant "disambiguating" or "discarding 
unwanted readings".

Yes, Constraint grammar fits the bill.

Newer versions of it actually not only discards contextually improper readings 
("walk" is Inf in "I want to X", V Prs in "We X fast" and N in "We went for a 
X"), it also add syntactic functions, dependency relations and even changes 
such relations. It is good for contextually determined lexical disambiguation 
(river vs. finance bank etc.). And the compiler is Danish, open source, and 
reasonably well documented.

A good illustration of how CG can contribute to MT (apart from Apertium's own 
achievements) is
