Would it be difficult to construct a test case to exercise this? Also, are we confident this is sound?

I tried for a while but did not manage. The code that breaks is in class Id in MapView of the collection strawman.

Regarding soundness: What happens is that we get two denotations that should be overloaded and we pick one and forget about the other. I see that as a possible problem for completeness, not sure how it would affect soundness.

Maybe add a comment to note that this may be worth revisiting at some point?

That was added by accident. I removed it now.
If there's a MergeError we now disambiguate following symbol preference. This is needed to make new collections compile. Also, better error messages for those cases where a MergeError is still emitted.
