CocoaPods file reference is a member of multiple groups

Question

I have an app with a share extension. My app depends on CocoaLumberjack/Default, and my share extension depends on CocoaLumberjack/Core. When I build with use_frameworks!, I get the following error:

$ rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock; pod install

Only the membership in one of the groups will be preserved (but membership in targets will be unaffected). If you want a reference to the same file in more than one group, please add another reference to the same path.

This is my Podfile:

workspace 'MyWorkspace'
xcodeproj 'MyProject/MyProject.xcodeproj'

use_frameworks!

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

link_with 'MyProject', 'MyShare'

target :MyProject do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack', '~> 2.0.1'
end

target :MyShare do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Core', '~> 2.0.1'
end

I was able to work around this problem by making both of my targets use the same CocoaLumberjack subspec. My working Podfile is below:

workspace 'MyWorkspace'
xcodeproj 'MyProject/MyProject.xcodeproj'

use_frameworks!

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'

link_with 'MyProject', 'MyShare'

target :MyProject do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Core', '~> 2.0.1'
end

target :MyShare do
  pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Core', '~> 2.0.1'
end

Why is this workaround necessary? What happens when I actually have different subspec dependencies between two targets?

EDIT

This looks related to CocoaPods Issue 4370. I posted my example project on github.

This is a bug in Cocoapods -And probably it won't be fixed in a long while-

Running export COCOAPODS_DISABLE_DETERMINISTIC_UUIDS=YES on the Terminal seems to suppress the warnings for now.

EDIT Feb 2016:

In latest version of Cocoapods this has now been moved to the install section of the Podfile: install! 'cocoapods', :deterministic_uuids => false
