same name for bookmark, tag and branch

This is just an experiment, I would never do that in real live

I started a fresh repo added a file and 2 commits.

    -  Then I added the tag master, edit and commit,

    -  then the branch master, edit and commit,

    - and then the bookmark master (abort: a bookmark cannot have the
      name of an existing branch) that seemed logical.

So I tried it the other way around

I started a fresh repo added a file and 2 commits.

    -  Then I added the tag master, edit and commit,

    -  then the bookmark master
    
    -  then the branch master, edit and commit,

That was accepted, but now

Hg update master *always* ended where the bookmark was, the tag was ignored.

Shouldn't there be a warning as well, 

    - once a tag is given the same name should not be used as a branch
      or as a bookmark,

    -  once a bookmark is chosen, that name should not be used for a tag
       or a branch?
