This seems to be a bug.

At least as specified in the Blue Book for Smalltalk-80 the above code should 
not be accepted.

And isn't accepted by:
Smalltalk-80 (snapshot from 31 May 1983 10:37:52 am, sources:  1 April 1983)
Squeak 3.8
Squeak 1.18
and an image called xmsmall, that Dan kindly gave me to get at ST-80 fonts.

All of them print:

test:  Name is already defined ->self
	^self
	
when you type the above code in the system browser and try to save it.

Greetings 

Wolfgang
