If this was true, wouldn't everyone just jump poor old Fawkes and 
pluck him bald? So all the good guys could have phoenix feather 
wands? I think the wands still work but the fact that the beams 
came in contact is where the trouble started with the similar core 
materials. And Harry did use his force of will to push LV's AK back 
into his wand, and that is when the spell regurgitation thing took 
place. If either beam would have struck home, then the requested 
result would have happened, unless Harry did the boy who lived thing 
again. Just my opinion. But I think, if this is true, Fawkes better 
start watching his tail feathers.

Exactly what I was going to say (well except for the endangered!Fawkes thing
<g>). The effect happened because they both cast a spell at the same time.
However I doubt it'll be a problem in future because after GoF Voldemort
would have to be dumber than a rock to insist on duelling fairly with Harry
again (not beyond the realms of possibility admittedly but if he does then I
vote we get together and send him a copy of the evil overlord list). One of
them will strike first or while the other's back is turned or something, or
one will lose/break their wand. Or possibly Harry will just pull out a big
gun and try his Dirty Harry impersonation. (am I the only one that thinks
the Aurors would be better off training their members to use high-tech
sniper rifles and waiting for the next time Voldemort summons his minions?)
