Why would you expect that? The tag ("name") is the only externally visible
handle xmonad has on a workspace. It's conceivable that other window managers
use internal names for workspaces and let you map many of those to the same
display name, but xmonad uses the tag as the workspace's real name and expects
the tag to be unique. (In fact I am a little surprised xmonad doesn't check
and complain when tags aren't unique.)
There are ways to get display names that differ from the internal tag, but
you'll have to do extra work to get them. (You can for example modify or
replace the names that DynamicLog sends to an external panel, which is often
used to add clickable icons in dzen.)

I expected this behavior because i thought i was giving xmnoad an array of
names for the workspaces, but internally they are still handled through
indices. But you are totally right, it should have been obvious, due to the
fact of how i handle the workspaces in the config...
Nevertheless an error would be great, i've been confronted with mad randomness
for hours until i found the source for my troubles (:

Maybe related, not sure:
But using renameWorkspace I named 2 workspaces the name.
When the workspace was selected xmobar was showing "WorkSName WorkSName".
I was unable to navigate to the second WorkSName.
So I renamed this one using renameWorkspace to something else, that worked.
However when I went back to WorkSName xmonad crashed:
xmonad-x86_64-l[5507]: segfault at 40 ip 00007f140991aa23 sp 00007fff4d5f4908
error 4 in libX11.so.6.3.0[7f14098b7000+13c000]

killian.de.volder@megasoft.be, any chance you can get a backtrace from that
crash?
(usually this indicates problems with the haskell X11 bindings)
