It is probably a limitation of the parser in gfan [1], which is the
software we use to compute groebner fans.
[1] http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~jensen/software/gfan/gfan.html
We could change the variable names before calling gfan to work around
this. AFAIK, there is also a library interface to gfan in the making,
which probably doesn't suffer from this limitation.
