I don't think this scenario is all that unlikely. A program is initially written by a Russian programmer who uses his own version of "a" as a variable name. Later an English-speaking programmer makes some changes, and uses an ascii "a". Now there are two subtly different variables called "a" in different parts of the program.

Greg,

If this scenario were not unlikely, it would have happened to a Java programmer somewhere, right? Has this ever happened? I wasn't able to find a case.
