 (which we have available). I've implemented this in
 52110a7966848538583acb65f6e064aadc751260 and it fixes the original test
 case.

 accepts examples where the field label is in scope only qualified, but it
 is used unqualified, and `DisambiguateRecordFields` is not enabled.
 Several of the other related bugs demonstrate this, so my patch causes
 them to be accepted (without a panic, but without an error either).

 Is it not currently implemented like it is to enabled ORF to work
 properly? I think your patch changes it back to how it used to work? I can
 possibly try to create a test case tomorrow.
