Comment (by graybeal):

 The problem brings its own solution. it should be fine to let multiple
 variables share the same ancillary variable, if it makes sense in all
 respects. For it to make sense when the standard_name needs to have the
 units of the data variable, all the variables need to have the same units.

 Looks to me like it makes sense for detection minimum to allow this, in
 some environments it would be a common use case.  But I can't figure out a
 sensible use case for one standard_error variable for multiple variables!
