Actually (as I recall) you can avoid the clashes by passing bud both of 
-odPATH and --op (note double-dashes) which will recreate the packaging 
of modules as a directory tree rooted at PATH.  Not neccessarily as good 
as "Gregorian Notation" (which I still wish the compiler would adopt), 
but usable.
