but what are the consequences of this?  If there's a specifically
troubling scenario that puts other people at risk, we should be able to
describe it.

If there isn't, then this suggests that actually using two keys with the
same fingerprint is a problem only for the person who holds the two
keys, right?

But that person has an easy (much cheaper in fact) way to proceed
without the problem: don't make a fingerprint collision in the first
place!
