I have been corrected here (several times) that you can have two "things" with
the same name as long as they have different types. But in this case, they'd
both have type LMOD, so it's not allowed.

It would be great if this chicanery could be documented with comments
that would appear in the output of a LIST command. Alas:
Title: SMP/E V3R6.0 for z/OS V1R13.0 Reference
Document Number: SA22-7772-16
5.15 LMOD entry (distribution and target zone)
LKED CONTROL
contains all the link-edit control cards necessary to relink-edit this load
module.
...
Comment statements are ignored and are not saved in the LMOD entry.
(Any link-edit control statement with an asterisk in column 1 is
considered
a comment statement.)
Boooo! Hiss! Why!?
