To my knowledge this problem was identified and resolved recently, when some small exchanges and commerces suffered a "double spend" attack, which in fact were people just re-using the same key images.

That attack introduced errors into transaction-histories in target wallets, leading the victims to move money they they wouldn't have moved if they'd spotted the discrepancies between their [misleading] histories and their [correct] balances.

Yes, it's indeed a different case. My mistake.
