You may consider it a design bug -- I do -- but RSI does not. The
ambiguity is that TITLE "could be" a shortened version of TITLE1.
This has been discussed on the newsgroup, and most people agreed that
the desired behavior is that if there is an exact keyword match, there
should be no ambiguity error. Unfortunately, with the way that IDL
presently works, there is no way for you to get your program working
with those two keywords.
