No, it's detected during compilation:

class test =
object
  method argzad = 1
  method ctzakz = 2 (* the same hash value *)
end

ocamlopt -c test.ml
File "test.ml", line 2, characters 0-53:
Method labels `ctzakz' and `argzad' are incompatible.
Change one of them.

When you invoke a method the name is not involved (only the label is).
