To clarify, you first have to:

upload a file
upload an identical file, with a different filename, without checking "Ignore warnings".
you get the slightly-different Special:Upload page which doesn't give you the option to ignore warnings. It shows you the other file for comparison and then gives you several submit buttons.

And finally, the error:

Even if you click 'ignore warnings, submit anyway' you are sent back to the upload page, only now the File input is empty. The upload fails without obvious warnings or problems.
