Did you use a release build? in qdeclearativeimport.cpp, line 894 I find a 
Q_ASSERT_X for exactly that case with 
"Internal error: Plugin imported previously with different uri".

This is not good. If we ignore the 2nd import, we need to give a warning a 
least. Or shall we simply accept the 2nd import?
