Yes, it's a desired feature that a suite can't contain two things with the same name -- either suites, tests, or one suite and one test. This is because I want names to be unique. Saying (test cut.finds-element-in-suite) shuld run only one test.
What you ran into is actually a bug I fixed at a meetup on Tuesday. The current error message is:
Error: "In suite cut, there are two things named finds-element-in-string."
