Sure, if one squints hard enough and goes looking for trouble and to 
intentionally create conflicts, you can do it. No good reason to do 
intentionally though. And most importantly, the build-ids are going nowhere, so 
disambiguating is always going to be possible even in the most extreme of 
corner cases.

I mean even build-ids, if you really want to intentionally make a mess, nothing 
stops you from duplicating one. They are not signed or assigned from a central 
authority. But it would be pretty weird, no?
