Multiple ComponentDefinition with the same name

A user at the ASGVis forum just reported an bug which turned out to an obscure SU bug:
Multiple ComponentDefinitions with the same name.

How to reproduce:
Search for "TV" on Google Warehouse

Add the top left TV
Console list of all definition names:

Then add the second TV, right to the first one in the search results.
Console list of all definition names:

One would expect SU to rename the latest TV added to TV#1 - but alas.

FYI: a little patching utility to fix the definition names: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=28095

Are you certain there isn't a space in one of the strings?
"TV "
"TV"

Now I see the download. An extra space is not the case.

And VfSU renders incorrectly due to this. One of the instances are replaced by the incorrect definition.

I just noticed that in another model I have, where I had imported geometry from a DWG, multiple definitions had the same name.
