Broken: 2.73 hash b4d8fb5

When using the FBX 7.4 Binary exporter on a file with linked libraries, all meshes that share a name are replaced with the mesh from the last linked file.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Create Alice.blend with a cube object called Alice in it. Keep the standard mesh name 'Cube'.
Create Bob.blend with a sphere object called Bob in it. Change the mesh name from 'Sphere' to 'Cube'. Add Bob to a group called 'Bob'.
In Alice.blend, 'Add Linked' (Ctrl+Alt+O), browse to the group Bob in Bob.blend and add it to the scene.
You should now have a cube Alice and a sphere Bob in your scene.
Export using the FBX 7.4 Binary exporter to AliceAndBob.fbx
Open AliceAndBob.fbx in your favourite model viewer. You should see two spheres, rather than a cube and a sphere.
(optional) Create Carol.blend with a cone shape and follow the previous steps. AliceAndBobAndCarol.fbx should end up all cones.
