Description
Expected Behavior
Should be able to start a child workflow, then when I try to start it again, it should error
Actual Behavior
Nothing comes back erroring on the second child start attempt. This may also be related to #1220 since it may be using WorkflowExecutionAlreadyStartedFailure internally, but I don't see any error in stdout/stderr.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported sequence in the Java SDK's test server: start a child workflow, then attempt to start it again. Trace how the second attempt is handled and check whether any error reaches stdout or stderr; done means the repeated start visibly reports an error, with the relationship to #1220 clarified.
