Yes, it’s this inconsistency:

$ perl5.15.6 -le 'use warnings "ambiguous"; $name{int}'
$ perl5.15.6 -le 'use warnings "ambiguous"; ${int}'
Ambiguous use of ${int} resolved to $int at -e line 1.

I think that ambiguous warning should be extirpated.  There is no
ambiguity there.  ${...} always implicitly quotes a single bareword with
no + or ; or () ornamenting it.
