I don't know whether this is related, but the other day I found that the
article Vienne contained two separate hatnotes, one disambiguating the
French town of Vienne from the canton, and the other pointing to the article
on Vienna.  I changed it to a two-item disambiguation relevant to the
context. I don't think this is a huge problem at all.
