This is now fixed in mdb.master, using basically this approach. There is a 
master array of DBI sequence numbers in the environment and another array in 
each write transaction. It is verified anywhere the dbx->md_name would get 
used. The sequence number is incremented in dbi_open and when a handle is closed.

Note - it is only checked in write txns, and only a few places (drop, commit, 
cursor_touch, page_search) ever check. There is a new error code MDB_BAD_DBI 
as well.
