The first example is one of the more useful contributions to the thread 
so far.

I would argue that the second case (IBM fails)  violates the current 
wording in the standard since the binding name is the same as the name 
of the conflicting subroutine.  So IBM can point to the standard and say 
that they are doing the right thing and the programmer made a mistake.

Cheers,
Bill
