Shotwell should absolutely distinguish these as two different images.  
If you're missing files with duplicate names, that would seem to be a 
bug.  Try running Shotwell with an empty library (e.g. 'shotwell -d 
foo') and importing two separate photos from your camera that happen to 
have the same name.  Does Shotwell think they are duplicates?
