Why am I getting class ambiguity? [message #1240912]

I'm in the process of creating a model, using an Ecore. One of my EClasses is called 'System'. When I generate the model, the generated EObjectValidator and EFactory have compilation errors, saying that:

'The type System is ambiguous'

I notice that elsewhere in the model, System has been referred to by its fully-qualified name, to avoid ambiguity with java.lang.System. Why isn't it being fully-qualified here? Is this a bug, or is there a flag in the Ecore or GenModel that can turn it on?

Ben,

It sounds like some kind of bug. Please open a bugzilla is a small
reproducible test case.

Thanks, Ed. I was struggling to reproduce it simply, but then realised it only occurs when merging into pre-existing classes. I've created Bug 427668 for it, with a small Ecore attached.
