Conversely, if demangling a mangled named shows an ambiguity then that
means we can't determine the original entity name.  No?

Perhaps in a theoretical sense, but not in a practical sense.  Demanglers
tend to be pretty dumb; they just kind of process the input text as text.
It might be that disambiguating would be a lot more work than goes on in
your typical demangler.
