Named backrefs (\k<name>, \g{name}) refer only the left most group with the name in Perl.
However they behave differently in Onigmo with Perl syntax. (

Onigmo/doc/RE

Lines 321 to 323 in b334081

When backreferencing with a name that is assigned to more than one groups,
the last group with the name is checked first, if not matched then the
previous one with the name, and so on, until there is a match.
)
They should refer only the left most group in Perl syntax.
