allowJs option with namespaces

I am currently trying to put the compiler option "allowJs" to use. My goal is to convert an existing JavaScript application into TypeScript step by step. The application does not use (external) modules, so I'm converting the JavaScript namespaces into real TypeScript namespaces, but I'm running into "duplicate identifier" errors as outlined below. Shouldn't it be possible to combine TypeScript and JavaScript using the same namespace? Maybe I'm doing something wrong or this is not intended, but I expected this to work.

TypeScript Version: 1.8.10

Code
File 1:

namespace myapp {
    export var c1 = 5;
}

File 2:

var myapp;
(function (myapp) {
    myapp.c2 = 4;
})(myapp || (myapp = {}));

tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "allowJs": true,
        "outFile": "dist/appBundle.js"
    }
}

Expected behavior:
Bundling the compiled code of file 1 and the code of file 2 without modifications into a single JavaScript file.

Actual behavior:
The compilation is done, but the compiler throws an error: "error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'myapp'."

Start with the two example files and the provided tsconfig.json using TypeScript 1.8.10, then reproduce the TS2300 duplicate-identifier error with allowJs, namespaces, and outFile. Done means the TypeScript and JavaScript namespace code can be bundled into one JavaScript file without modifying the JavaScript or reporting the duplicate identifier.
