It is a feature. The reason for that is that in the Wikipedias when you
access the data you can't use the property names otherwise - they have to
be unique. So in order to be able to write {{#property:capital}}, the
capital property needs to be unique (and a {{#property:p25}} we considered
to be unacceptable usability-wise).That is why we decided that property labels need to be unique (per language). If there are better ways to solve that problem, we are all ears.
