Summary: AssertionFailedException with two identical attribute name

Initial Comment:
How can two identical attribute names happen ?
- with a sql query : ex. select geom, name, name, name from city
  (although I don't think a plain table can have duplicate names)
- it can be saved/read to/from a shapefile, a jml (with different results !)
- feature schema edition tool pevent such a schema edition

What happens ?
- a AssertionFailedException is thrown by plugins like
  * combine selected layers
  * clip map to fence
  * there are other problems if one try to change an attribute value using its 
name...

What to do ?
The minimum would be to throw a clearer message
Maybe sufficient, automatic renaming seems a bit dangerous
Refusing data loading maybe frustrating (although getting a yellow warning 
light be useful)
