Great catch. I've filed
https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/BVAL-634, PR for API and spec
coming up in a bit.

It's my expectation that an error would be raised. I would say it
falls into the category of

    "If the composition is invalid, e.g. [...] a single attribute
mapped to more than one source attribute [...] a
ConstraintDefinitionException is raised"

Let me know if you think that's too vague and we should add this case
more explicitly to the list of erroneous overrides discussed in the
spec.
