This is a great catch and yes, it's going to be a problem with the way
we do our "uniqueness" checking right now. It's also an issue as there
are currently no dependencies defined between tasks.

We'll have to revisit this check today.

Much of this issue can be made moot by resource locking, which we don't
currently have.

I'll also look at this issue, and see if it can be resolved today.
