This can happen quite easily: if one language describes two concepts 
described by one term in one article, and another language describes the 
two concepts separately, that is a good reason for a link between disamb 
and non-disamb pages.

Could one instead not make the "problem solver" in the robot a bit 
smarter so that only when there is a conflict it prefers links between 
pages with the same disamb status over links between unequal disamb status?
