It kind of does:

M-x project-find-file, type `ede/locate.el', press RET.

or, to open the other one, type `lisp/locate.el', RET.

Admittedly, if you've already typed `locate.el', and are trying to 
resolve the ambiguity, choosing the second option takes more keypresses 
than one might expect:

C-a lisp.el C-e RET

I'd call it a bug in completion-at-point, but it might be expected 
behavior, caused by the interaction between the completion styles.
