Buisnesskey duplicate possible

long story short, while testing a class that starts Processes, i ran into unexpected results while trying to start the same Process twice with the same Businesskey:

 @Test (expected = IllegalArgumentException.class)
    @Deployment(resources  = {"test_process.bpmn"})
    public void startProcess_duplicateBkey() {
        rule.getRuntimeService().startProcessInstanceByKey("test_process", "a1");
        rule.getRuntimeService().startProcessInstanceByKey("test_process", "a1");
        System.out.println(rule.getRuntimeService().createProcessInstanceQuery().processInstanceBusinessKey("a1", "test_process").list().size());
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

prints "2".

I thus have two instances of "test_process" with businesskey "a1". In my understanding, this should not be possible, should it?

There was an discussion about it and from some activiti release (I can not remember which one) business key unique constraint was removed.
