I'm an outsider, but maybe it's a problem of their interaction? Most likely, the vast majority of Protobuf use is with code generated to a single, canonical location (which leads to the problem described above). But hypothetically, it would be possible for code to generate and refer to two different versions. That doesn't sound impossible. Maybe just improbably given the way things are typically set up.
