What is the current behavior?
Declaring multiple loaders with same test but different issuer stopped working in webpack 4

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

What is the expected behavior?

a.js should get base64-encoded string, and b.js should get the file reference

  1. Seems like the NamedModulesPlugin doesn’t handle conflicts.

    As workaround you can disable it via optimization.namedModules: false

  2. Also hit this issue FYI to people who might be using SVG loaders and loading the same svg file with different svg-loaders.
