I confirm the bug.

marcino15, Could you add Game Engine as Projects? (to have the bugs better organized)

This isn't really a "bug", rather just a byproduct of the fact that the name is not unique for instances. For this reason, you must access your added objects from the addObject function, or the objectsLastCreated with the addObject actuator.

After analyzing deeper, as well said by Angus, the name is not unique for instances. you can see this blenderartists thread to check how to proceed (http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?372830-Accessing-objects-after-adding-with-scene-addObject() )

Then I'm going to archive this report as it is not a bug but I've passed it to our TODO list (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/GameEngine#Python_API)

Thanks for reporting.
