I understand your argument, but it is by no means clear that the scope for the uniqueness constraint should be the catalog into which the resource is placed. In fact, Puppet consistently works differently, as duplicate virtual resources are also not allowed, even if there is no attempt to collect or realize them at all. The constraint can be conceptualized as requiring uniqueness of all the resources known within the scope of a given catalog compilation run. It's a valid design decision.
