This problem has been fixed in R15B. Here is the release note
from the README:

OTP-9667  The calculation of the 'uniq' value for a fun (see
erlang:fun_info/1) was too weak and has been strengthened. It
used to be based on the only the code for the fun body, but
it is now based on the MD5 of the BEAM code for the module.
