@Noughty - I guess I've never come across this situation, I certainly in my library don't have any books where the title is the same across the series. I guess if someone was storing magazines and using the tiele as the magazine name and the series index for the year/month that could happen.
However generally speaking reusing the same title for the same author (as in the situation described) is not a good thing to be doing imo. One reason that comes to mind is that every time you add another in the series, calibre is going to prompt you with its duplicate dialog, since it matches based on title and author. Likewise automerge uses only title and author as well.
For those reasons I think you are better off steering away from it if possible. From a Find Duplicates perspective, it is easy enough to just add that set of books to a duplicate exemption group, then you won't ever see them appear again anyways?
