Well, it could also be that this has happened before, but everyone else was smart enough to use list-load-path-shadows to figure it out, and I was just too stupid.

In the original case where one was a symlink to the other, xemacs should have been able to deduce that by chasing the symlink. In the other case, xemacs by design was looking at both directories so I guess there's not much that can be done with that other than making xemacs stop looking there. But that would probably break installations that use bindir to store the exec in special subdirectories. (I used to do this with multiple xemacs versions and sometimes even different archs.) I think this is a sufficiently rare occurrence that nothing (other than, perhaps, the symlink chasing above) really needs to be done. Maybe filing a bug with some steps to figure out what's going would be enough?
