Hoi,
Why do you think Wikipedia is an issue? Why do you think that the label
should not be overridden to something that makes sense in the context?
Thanks,

Silly question: Why not leave the system as it is

they use a non-unique alias? Like using
references without the
{{reflist}}?
I like this approach a lot - presumably we already have such errors if you
use an alias that doesn't exist, or try to invoke a non-existent P number?
However, there's one possible problem that I can see - someone creating
duplicate aliases at a later date on Wikidata, and causing errors to pop up
across Wikipedia as a result. (When added they were fine, but now they're
ambiguous.) The editor might not realise this, and the first anyone knows
is when the client wikis complain...
