Wrong inbox notification for chat messages

Question

I've encountered the problem, that I'm getting all the chat notifications of other users with the same but different name in my top bar inbox.

Recently a moderator super pinged a user using his user ID. I am an active chat user in the room the ping occurred in and I have the same name as the user that was pinged.

I also received a notification in my inbox:

You can find the chat message here.

The chat message and the history of that message state that @sven was the target of the notification, which is why I assume I got a notification, however since the moderator super pinged the user using his user ID I do not believe that I should have received a notification.

Let me know if you need further information to locate the bug.

Update:

This will need the attention of Stack Exchange in order to resolve as it is unexpected behaviour with super pinging when notifying users in the instance that other users who active use chat have the same name.

Original post:

Names on Stack Exchange chat are neither unique or case sensitive. In this instance, there were multiple people named "sven" and they were both pinged. This will happen in any instance where there are multiple people with the same name or only a partial name is used to ping a user and that partial name matches multiple users.

For example; if you're in a channel with multiple people named "Tim" (ie: Tim Post and Tim Stone) and ping @Tim, both users will receive a notification.
