The error message is a little mysterious I admit, but the problem in your 
example is that you are using the 
@name tag to declare documentation for three global functions, all named 
"getEditDisplayNode".

The docs for @name explain that you must give the "namepath" when using the 
@name tag, and the 
namepath must be "a unique identifier that maps to that variable". But the 
namepath "getEditDisplayNode" 
isn't unique when you use it three times. You appear to be trying to use the 
@memberOf tag to distinguish 
one getEditDisplayNode from another, but that won't work: the namepath is 
considered canonical and isn't 
affected by @memberOf.

Try this pattern this instead:

/** Returns an html node used for editing.
    * @name CHK.GIS.Web.CHKWebMap.ClientAPI.RectangleOverlay.prototype.getEditDisplayNode
    * @function  
    * @return {Node}
    */
