This is of course an edge case. I still think the spec should be changed to be more consistent.
This concerns example 540 from the spec 0.27:
Everywhere else, reference links are only recognized if they are matching. Unmatched reference links don't have any significance to the parser.
Therefore, in this case, the unmatched reference link
[foo][bar]
should also not have any significance, and the parser should continue to happily match[foo]
as shortcut reference link.
