 Replying to [comment:1 duck_]:
 > I cannot reproduce if the file name is the same, e.g. showcase.php for a
 twentyeleven child theme.
 >
 > However, if the name is different, e.g. showcase2.php, then the template
 dropdown list will only have an option for the parent theme's version
 since `get_page_templates()` performs `array_flip(
 wp_get_theme()->get_page_templates() )`.

 You're correct. I did some more testing and the premise of this ticket is
 invalid. I'll submit a separate enhancement ticket to see if we can't make
 this more consistent.
