Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  Changing Summary to be more specific about the problem (classdef
methods).

For regular functions, the interpreter is smart enough to issue a warning. 
For this code (attached as tst_fcn_dup.m)


function tst_fcn_dup ()
  subfcn1 ();
  subfcn2 ();
endfunction

function subfcn1 ()
  disp ("First definition of subfcn1");
endfunction

function subfcn2 ()
  disp ("calling subfcn2");
endfunction

function subfcn1 ()
  disp ("Second definition of subfcn1");
endfunction


the error message when run is


error: parse error near line 14 of file
/home/rik/wip/Projects_Mine/octave-dev/tst_fcn_dup.m

  duplicate subfunction or nested function name

>>> function subfcn1 ()
            ^
