Do you remember the scenario where you saw that?  Normally, the
load-history contains the file names using the directory names that
appear in load-path, so while they're not "canonical", as long as we
stick to using file name relative to directories in `load-path' it
seems that the cases where two files are really the same and we don't
detect it should be rather rare.
