While a STA is Probing, does it really matter if a duplicate address is used?

I would have a slight concern that the probee might update some record
of the prober's capabilities (from the probe), which might in turn cause
problems if there is another device with the same address (but different
capabilities) associated with the probee.
This risk exists right now. My understanding is Apple is currently using random MACs for the probling. 

Can we make things better.
