I don't believe startup was inhibited. You are correct that if we attempt to add a new named member whose truncated length matches an already-established member, that is a serious error condition and should be reported as such (and perhaps inhibit startup.) As an informational alert of a not-clashing name, 'error' severity seems too loud.
