In plexus role+hint forms a "composite key". In your case, you had a component conflict, and Plexus stashed one component over another (it's undefined which "wins", but probably depends on classpath ordering or so). If you want Plexus to manage them as two distinct components, you have to make them have two distinct keys, hence role+hint must differ on them.
BTW, which plexus are you using? The "classic" (oldie) or the SISU-plexus-shim?
